Farmers, government clash over flood control measures Farmers protest | Opening Portage Diversion contentious

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Research from the University of Illinois disputes the commonly held notion that farmers can catch up on seeding in a hurry with today’s modern equipment.

Darrel Good, an agricultural economist at the university, has analyzed 50 years of seeding data that shows little progress has been made in putting the crop in the ground faster.

He looked at weekly crop report data from the state between 1960 and 2011. The reports contain information on the percentage of the corn crop seeded and the number of days suitable for fieldwork each week.

Good used the data to calculate the average daily planting progress for the corn crop each year over the past 50 years.

New data shows crops go in at same rate despite equipment improvements

BY SEAN PRATT

BY ED WHITE

PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Man. — Dan Roy was thinking about his saskatoon berry farm as he rode his horse up the slope last week to look over the water rushing down the Portage Diversion.

The farm was devastated by flooding in 2011 when water deliberately released by the provincial government at the Hoop and Holler bend east of Portage la Prairie flooded fields beside the Assiniboine River.

He believes the water travelled through the thick seams of sand that run through the area to rise up beneath his orchard and partially drown it.

The bushes aborted their fruit and he still isn’t back into full production.

He also received no compensation.

“I got zilch,” Roy said about the ruling that his flooding had nothing to do with the Hoop and Holler breach.

That’s why he sympathizes with the farmers who briefly obstructed the opening of the Portage Diversion April 29 by driving farm equipment onto the sides of the diversion beside the opening as provincial workers prepared to open it to clear ice in the Assiniboine River above Portage.

The farmers, from along the diversion and around Lake Manitoba, are angry that they have not been compensated for the ongoing damages caused by the provincial government’s decision in 2011 to flood Lake Manitoba rather than risk downstream flooding nearer Winnipeg.

“If I had a tractor, I would have been out there too,” said Roy, whose main home is on an acreage a little less than a kilometre from the diversion.

SEEDING | FROM PAGE ONE

Seeding rates unchanged The data shows that farmers were able to use modern equipment to plant 10 percent more acres per day in 2011 than they could in 1950.

“But since we’re planting more acres, the percentage of the crop planted each day was pretty constant over time,” he said.

For instance, the average planting progress in the 1970s was 4.2 percent per day compared to 4.8 percent in the 2000s.

“There might be a slight increase in our ability to plant the corn crop now, but it is by no means a large difference,” said Good.

“What most people miss when we talk about the big equipment is yes, the equipment is much larger, but the big planter has replaced three or four small planters,” he said.

Farmers have a hard time accepting the research results because there is a general perception that modern equipment has resulted in much faster planting.

“They don’t tend to believe it because you observe these planters covering hundreds of acres per day, but if you’ve lost 80 percent of the planters, then in total you’re not necessarily planting more,” said Good.

David Gullacher, president of the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute, said there is no doubt that technology has given farmers the ability to seed more efficiently.

Direct seeding has eliminated the need to till the soil, which used to happen up to two times in the fall and two times in the spring.

“You’ve just eliminated the need for some good (spring) weather,” he said.

Modern combines do a fantastic job of managing post-harvest field residue, which again has made seeding easier.

“The surface trash isn’t the challenge that it used to be,” said Gullacher.

And then there is today’s seeding equipment, which is much wider and more precise than what farmers used to operate, and there is a lot more horsepower dragging seeders across the field.

“All those things compiled together means you can narrow the seeding window,” said Gullacher.

But that doesn’t mean it is happening, because as Good pointed out in his research, farms may not have as many workers and machines as they had in the past.

“It’s not a limit-of-technology decision anymore, it’s a business decision,” said Gullacher.

Franck Groeneweg, a grower from Edgeley, Sask., is surprised by Good’s findings, but it reinforces an idea he has been contemplating lately.

He believes the future of farm equipment is a shift away from today’s massive drills and combines to small and nimble unmanned machines.

Instead of operating his 80-foot air drill, Groeneweg would prefer to have a collection of 10 eight-footwide unmanned seeders crisscrossing his fields.

“That’s where I would like to go,” he said.

He believes the weight distribution would be vastly improved in the socalled smart implements because there would be no need for a cab.

Groeneweg also likes the idea of relying on gravity to distribute the seed in the soil rather than air pressure.

Gullacher doesn’t know how close smart implements are to becoming a reality, but he knows through conversations with farm leaders that there is a growing demand for such products.

“It certainly should be obvious to innovators and machinery manufacturers that it’s being called for. We very definitely have heard that,” he said.

SASKATCHEWAN | WATER

Officials shift focus as flood threat declines Saskatchewan waterways | Worst-case scenario avoided, says Water Security Agency

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The threat of widespread flooding in Saskatchewan eased earlier this week, but emergency management officials were still watching several trouble spots as the last of the snow melted.

“Overall, we’re seeing a decrease in the overall threat of flooding,” emergency management commissioner Duane McKay said in a May 6 flood update.

“I think a lot of that can be attributed to late runoff and some fortunate happenstance in that it didn’t all occur in all areas at the same time.”

Water Security Agency spokesperson Patrick Boyle said the protracted melt allowed snow to sublimate and melt into the ground.

Most of the snow cover in the grain belt disappeared over the weekend and the runoff was making its way into the river systems.

He said the Wascana basin was the last unknown. It was among the last to melt because of heavy snow pack, and water wasn’t expected to move completely through the system until late this week.

The agency was shifting its focus from streams and rivers to lake levels as water from the Moose Jaw River, Qu’Appelle River and Wascana Creek made its way into the Qu’Appelle lakes.

To get there, the water passes through Lumsden and Craven, where flooded market gardens and impassable roads were affecting local residents. Boyle said the levels were not expected to be as high as 2011 because each waterway was coming through in stages.

Flow through Lumsden May 6 was about 210 cubic metres per second, compared to 300 m3/s in 2011.

“Essentially what’s happened there is the worst-case scenario has been avoided,” Boyle said.

The worst has likely passed for

Radisson, Borden and the surrounding Rural Municipality of Great Bend, which struggled for more than a week to hold back water. Levels were declining, but Borden and the RM remained under a declared state of emergency.

Also under an emergency declaration as of May 6 were the RMs of Elfros, Fish Creek, Wilton and Rosthern, the town of Rosthern and the First Nations of Poundmaker, Sakimay, Muscowpetung, James Smith, Onion Lake and Cowessess.

Local flooding was causing most of the problems in these areas as well as in the RM of Corman Park and near Blaine Lake and Wakaw.

McKay said response teams from the government were helping communities put sandbags in place and pump water. Most communities are in much better shape than they were when rain fell in 2011 because they have undertaken flood mitigation and prevention projects.

However, he said the volunteer base is burning out a bit, particularly along the Qu’Appelle lakes where levels will still rise.

“There is a little bit of strain in terms of their sustainability so we will be moving rapid response teams into those areas over the next couple of days to assist them in maintaining (their efforts),” he said.

Boyle said there is no flood risk on the Souris River system.

“We’re really into a water management scenario here,” he said.

“We’re going to be filling the reservoirs because they were actually lowered below the required level in anticipation of the spring melt.”

Officials were also monitoring conditions in southwestern Saskatchewan where low relative humidity and high temperatures were causing wildfires. Firefighting equipment has been moved into Swift Current, and McKay said rapid response teams were on alert.

FEDERAL BUDGET | BILL C-60

Credit unions face tax hikes

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The federal government is rushing an omnibus budget bill through Parliament that includes a significant tax hike on credit unions.

Credit Union Central of Canada estimates a $205 million tax hit over the first five years.

Government imposition of limits on debate in the House of Commons means Bill C-60 should be passed in principle by the end of this week and sent to committee for what likely will

be brief hearings.

The government wants the bill into law by late June when Parliament takes a summer recess, although even with repeated time allocation imposition, it will be a race to get it through committee hearings, final Commons approval and then the Senate by June.

The budget bill implements a March budget promise to phase out a 40-year-old tax break for credit unions that are too big to qualify for the lower small business tax rate.

Clash over flood control measures in Manitoba “I had to sell pretty well everything I had just to exist.”

The provincial government was less empathetic with the protesting farmers.

Steve Ashton, minister responsible for flood control, denounced the farmers, saying in the legislature that “what happened was irresponsible and was not acceptable. It created real risk. It put other Manitobans at risk.”

The government rushed an injunction into place, ordering the farmers off the land, but the farmers left the area before it was issued and did not go back.

The government also introduced legislation to make it illegal to obstruct water control structures and launched legal action against two of the protesters, demanding they pay for increased staff costs caused by the 12 hour delay in opening the diversion.

Ashton also denounced the provincial Progressive Conservative opposition for supporting the farmers’ complaint against the government, accusing it of encouraging the protest.

Ian Wishart, PC MLA for Portage la Prairie, scoffed at Ashton’s denunciation as he drove alongside the course of the diversion last week. He said he found out about the location and time of the protest one hour before it occurred and was doing his job as MLA in meeting with upset farmers and other constituents.

Sandi Knight, whose husband was one of the farmers at the protest, said their farm was hurt by the 2011 manmade flooding. She said it takes a lot to push farmers to publicly protest, but frustration has boiled over as both provincial and federal governments fail to deliver the compensation they promised for the flooding.

“We’re feeling left out and ignored,”

said Knight, who frequently choked up as she spoke about the situation.

“We’re outside the Perimeter (Highway, which rings Winnipeg.)

We’re not part of the two-thirds of the population that lives in Winnipeg, so we don’t seem to count.”

Farmers just want compensation for the flooding that was intentionally inflicted upon them, Knight said.

Farmers along the diversion were hurt when failsafe weak points were breached to take pressure off the system. That not only caused local overland flooding, but also caused the water table to rise sharply and cause salinization of farmland that now can’t be used for vegetable production.

The failsafe was again blown last week as the amount of water released by the province down the diversion became much greater than officials intended.

Hundreds of cattle producers near Lake Manitoba were also hurt by the 2011 flooding, including Knight.

Water spread far out beyond natural levels, drowning thousands of acres of native pasture, much of which was still underwater through most of last year. Many farmers had to sell cows and reduce their herds to have enough feed to continue.

The area is still suffering from a severe feed shortage.

Flood experts don’t expect the water flowing into the diversion this year to affect Lake Manitoba, with one estimating that it would rise only one millimetre.

However, farmers were incensed to see the provincial government going back to using the diversion again without having dealt properly with the impact of the last flood.

“We haven’t seen (premier Greg)

Selinger since he stood at the Hoop and Holler on national TV and said everyone would get compensation,” said Knight.

Manitoba farm leaders sympathized with the farmers who protested, noting the failure of governments to compensate farmers adequately for their losses. They were also appalled by how harshly the provincial government handled the situation.

“I am taken aback in the level of response (from the provincial government,)” said Cam Dahl, executive director of Manitoba Beef Producers.

“I’m surprised at the degree in which the province has hit back. This has been extremely strong.”

Keystone Agricultural Producers president Doug Chorney was also dismayed by the government’s severe reaction.

“It’s unfortunate producers feel they have no other choice than to block the diversion. It’s a sign of the frustration they feel about being flooded again when they’re still dealing with the last one,” said Chorney.

“Why did the government not at least come out and talk to them? It would have just been a decent courtesy. They’re just farmers. It’s not like they’re criminals. And they’re being treated like criminals.”

During Wishart’s tour of the diversion, a local resident stopped to ask how to donate money to a legal defence fund for the farmers being pursued by the provincial government.

“A lot of people are upset by this,” said Wishart. “They didn’t want to put anyone at risk. They just wanted their voice heard.”

WESTERN CANADA | EXPANSION

Acquisition puts Richardson on top Grain handling | Viterra elevator purchases make Richardson biggest player in Canada

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

It took 100 years, strategic investments and plenty of patience for Richardson International Ltd. to finally become the top dog in Canada’s grain handling industry.

On May 1, the company officially acquired 19 Viterra grain elevators, adding more than 3.5 million tonnes of grain and oilseed origination to its already substantial portfolio.

Richardson president Curt Vossen said the new additions give the family owned company a 33 to 34 percent market share of Western Canada’s grain handling business, which is identical to its main competitor, Glencore Xstrata plc.

However, Richardson also originates grain in Eastern Canada.

“If you put the two together, that would make us the biggest grain handler in Canada,” said Vossen.

The distinction of taking over the coveted No. 1 spot comes during the Winnipeg company’s 100th anniversary.

“We’re particularly excited that this company continues to be relevant and growing and effective and competitive 100 years after it was started and still 100 percent Canadian owned,” said Vossen.

The handpicked assets that were part of a complicated deal involving Viterra, Glencore, Richardson and Agrium Inc. fill gaps in Richardson’s elevator network, such as in west-central Saskatch-

ewan, east-central Alberta and the Peace River region of northern Alberta and British Columbia.

“All of these production areas feed different markets,” Vossen said.

“Some feed a domestic market in North America or Canada, some feed an export market.”

Brian Hayward, former chief executive officer of United Grain Growers and Agricore United, said there is good reason Richardson has risen up the ranks.

“These guys are smart, shrewd operators,” he said.

“It’s patient money. The family has supported and been in this business for a long time and clearly is continuing to be interested in being in it.”

Richardson’s expansion phase was kick-started in May 2007 when the company agreed to abandon its pursuit of Agricore United in exchange for the right to buy 15 elevators and nine crop input supply centres from Saskatchewan Wheat Pool. The $315 million deal immediately expanded Richardson’s handling capacity by 50 percent.

The board of directors then gave

Vossen $70 million to spend on upgrading the company’s existing and newly acquired fleet of elevators.

In 2010, Richardson cut the ribbon on its $170 million canola crushing plant in Yorkton, Sask.

Then came the big deal in March 2012, when the company agreed to pay more than $800 million to buy a collection of Viterra assets, including 19 grain elevators, 13 crop input centres, four oat mills, a wheat mill and an interest in three export terminals.

Hayward said Richardson has done a superb job of biding its time, waiting for the right opportunity to come along.

“It’s a great Canadian story. They’re very good operators. It’s probably testimony to patient capital and support from the family,” he said.

Publicly traded companies can’t afford to be as patient because there’s always the next quarterly report around the corner and the unrelenting shareholder expectation for growth in investment.

Randy Strychar, president of Ag Commodity Research, offered similar high praise.

“Richardson is an excellent company. I think they’re top shelf. I think Vossen and their management are about as good as I’ve seen in 30 years in the grain business,” he said.

Strychar agreed that the company has been opportunistic.

“They were in the right place at the right time and they were able to capitalize on it,” he said.

Strychar said a good case in point is the recent acquisition of Viterra’s oat mills in Canada and the United States.

“Getting the four mills was a great move,” he said. “That’s a very profitable sector for them. They did quite well in obtaining that.”

Vossen said Richardson is getting close to being built out on the grain handling side of the business in Canada and will be looking south of the border for further expansion opportunities now that it has a beachhead in that market with an oat mill in Nebraska and a wheat mill in Texas.

33 to 34 percent MARKET SHARE IN WESTERN CANADA CLAIMED BY RICHARDSON

The Saskatchewan and federal governments are investing $500,000 to develop the next generation of agricultural leaders.

Provincial agriculture minister Lyle Stewart announced May 2 that a youth leadership and mentorship program will be offered over the next five years as part of Growing Forward 2 programming.

“Youth are the future of this industry and the province,” he said.

“When we have a lot of young folks coming back into the industry at long last, we need to pass along some of the great leadership skills.”

The program will be modelled on the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association young leaders program.

Industry associations will be eligible to receive up to $4,000 per mentorship to a maximum of $20,000 per association.

Costs such as travel expenses for industry events and meeting registration fees are eligible.

Brad Wildeman, a former CCA president and respected beef industry leader, said young people who are busy building their own operations and facing significant costs need some help to travel and learn about their sectors.

When he was younger, his mentors were people like ranchers Gary Jones and Neil Jahnke, whom he remembers watching represent the industry on television.

However, he said he didn’t get to work with and learn from them until much later.

“This is the opportunity for young people to get into this thing, meet these people while they’re still active, and that’s the exciting part of it,” Wildeman said.

Jeff Yorga of Flintoft, Sask., and Tara Davidson of Ponteix, Sask., are alumni of the program and said the opportunities are tremendous.

“Any type of mentorship program depends on how you use it,” said Yorga.

“You learn what you want to learn.

If you’re active and you’re involved, there’s no limit to what you can learn.”

Davidson said she learned more about the entire cattle industry as a whole, how check-off money is used and how a board works. Building a network and relationships has been a lasting benefit, she said.

Saskatchewan Oat Development Commission executive director Shawna Mathieson said a mentorship program is a new concept for the crops sector but one she welcomes.

Younger oat growers are becoming more active, she said. For example, three members of the Alberta association’s board of directors are younger than 35.

Canadian Western Agribition signed on as a mentor for the CCA program last fall, and chief executive officer Marty Seymour said an industry-wide effort is a great initiative.

SEED TREATMENT | AGRONOMIC VALUE

No yield benefit from neonicotinoids: scientist Value of seed coating questioned | U.S. scientist says two-year trials showed no boost in yields

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

An American entomologist is questioning the effectiveness of planting seed coated with neonicotinoids.

The controversial class of pesticides is in the news right now because of a possible link to bee deaths.

Christian Krupke, an associate professor with Perdue University, isn’t calling for a ban, as are other entomologists, but he does say North American growers should consider the true agronomic value of these treatments because the costs may outweigh the benefits.

An estimated 92 to 95 percent of corn acres in Canada and the United States are planted with seed coated with neonicotinoids. Krupke said this level of use is unnecessary because field trials at Purdue suggest the chemicals do not always provide a yield benefit.

In 2011 and 2012, Krupke and his colleagues planted corn seed with no treatment, corn with a full rate of Poncho, a Bayer seed treatment, and a third with a lower rate of Poncho.

Last year they replicated the trial four times on three fields in Indiana.

Krupke, who has evaluated yields, stand count and root damage from the two year’s of data, said the findings are clear.

“Across the board we found no differences. No statistical difference in any parameter at any location,” Krupke said.

“The data looked liked a normal distribution, if there was nothing (no insecticide) on there.”

Krupke will repeat the study this summer to account for yearly variation in insect pressure. Regardless, he questions why growers are using a seed treatment every year.

“If there is variation (in insects) from year to year, then why are we putting it on every seed, every year?” he said. “We’re putting it on (nearly)

Dust from seed treated with neonicotinoids has been blamed for bee deaths across the U.S. and parts of Canada. | every single kernel, every year, across the U.S. and Canada…. There is a place for these compounds, but the volume we’re using is completely unsupported by this (data) or any other data I’ve ever seen…. I don’t want to say, let’s ban this tomorrow, but I do want to say the way we’re doing it is not the best way. It’s not supported by logic or science or pest populations.”

Krupke, who plans to publish a paper on his research after another year of trials, shared his findings this winter with U.S. Midwest corn growers, who were often surprised by the data.

“I don’t think (farmers) have questioned if there is a benefit. They assume that you are putting insecticide on seed, of course that’s going to be beneficial and enhance yield.”

The lack of a yield boost is particularly concerning because of the link between corn seed treatments and bee deaths.

Scientists have determined that insecticide-laden dust from corn planters has killed thousands of bees in Ontario, Indiana, Minnesota, Illinois and several other states. As well, a number of scientific papers have shown that neonicotinoids hamper bees’ ability to forage and reproduce.

In his upcoming paper, Krupke will address whether the purported benefits of seed treatments are worth the environmental risks.

Bayer wasn’t willing to comment on Krupke’s research because the company hasn’t seen the data. A Bayer Canada spokesperson said third party trials, conducted primarily in Central Canada from 2002-07, showed corn yield increases of five to 11 bu. per acre, depending on the rate of seed treatment.

The spokesperson also pointed to a CropLife America study, which found that neonicotinoid treated corn seed increased yield by 18 percent in fields with high

wireworm populations.

John Cowan, vice-president of Grain Farmers of Ontario, said the latest data in Ontario shows that corn seed treatments offer a three bushel per acre yield boost.

“And as much as 20 bu. per acre where wireworm and seed maggot are found in high populations in the soil,” he said.

“What we would like to do is come up with a way to predict wireworm, seed maggot and white grub populations in individual fields, so that we might better incorporate an integrated pest management program.”

GFO has sponsored a $310,000 research project to determine the needs for seed treatment and better manage the needs of corn growers and beekeepers.

“We also want to work with equipment manufacturers to learn of potential better ways to ensure the seed treatment stays adhered to the seed and therefore gets planted and

FILE PHOTO

stays below ground,” Cowan said.

Krupke said such technology would be helpful, but growers should use insecticidal seed treatments only when necessary.

It does require effort to monitor pest populations in the soil, but it is possible to manage insects without a seed treatment every year, he added.

“It’s not that hard. It’s been done before. It’s just been abandoned because commodity prices have gotten so high and convenience is such a substantial thing.”

He said it’s difficult for corn growers to buy high yielding hybrids without a seed treatment. Growers should have more options when they buy corn seed, he added.

“Do you want fungicide (seed treatment) alone? Do you want fungicide and insecticide?” he said.

“At a bare minimum, there should be the choice in the hybrids they want, that they can get them with different options.”

SASKATCHEWAN WATER | INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING

‘Great things’ expected from Sask. water funding hike

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Governments have boosted funding for the popular farm and ranch water infrastructure program in Saskatchewan by 30 percent for the next five years.

The federal and provincial agriculture ministers announced the details of the $65 million program in Regina May 3.

David Marit, president of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities, said rural residents would be pleased with the program.

“When you see community wells being developed the way we have and you see private wells and some pipelines and some dugouts, longterm water infrastructure … I believe the first year of this program there

LYLE STEWART SASKATCHEWAN AGRICULTURE MINISTER

was over $25 million invested. That tells you there was a need for it,” he said.

Three community wells were dug in his own municipality of Willow Bunch, and two ranchers added pipelines to those wells to provide quality water for their cattle.

“We had guys that did pipelines for a mile to get water to pastures that

were critical for their livelihood,” he said. “They had grass but they didn’t have water.”

Almost 5,500 projects, nearly all of them on farms, have been undertaken since 2008 with the help of $49 million in government funding.

Agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said 81 of the projects were community wells.

“With the additional funding, I think we can expect great things,” he said.

“I’m particularly proud of this program because you can drive around Saskatchewan and see the contributions this program has made to sustainable water.”

Federal minister Gerry Ritz said Ottawa is happy to partner in a program that takes pressure off critical riparian areas by providing safe

water for cattle.

“We see the value of making a good program even better,” he told reporters.

There are four components to the program that offer various costshared funding depending on the project.

For example, on-farm wells, dugouts, pipelines, connections to rural water utilities, relocating livestock watering systems for environmental purposes and protecting well heads are eligible for 50 percent of allowable costs to a maximum of $60,000.

Well decommissioning is funded at 90 percent and doesn’t count toward the cap.

A new program aspect is the ability for intensive livestock and horticulture operations, value-added agri-

cultural businesses and non-district irrigators to participate.

In the first four years of the program, 12,000 irrigated acres were added within provincial irrigation districts.

Saskatchewan Irrigation Projects Association president Roger Pederson said he can see 20,000 or 30,000 more acres over the next five years.

Stewart said irrigation can add value of $500 per acre per year to crop land.

“That’s a conservative number,” said Pederson. “I think some of the crops that we’re going to be getting into in the future, that number could be a few hundred dollars an acre more, potentially.”

Later seeding likely to hurt oat yields

Still time to reap corn potential July weather key | Yield expectations will drop if seeding goes into late May and early June

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Markets have no reason to be jittery about the late-seeded U.S. corn crop, say a pair of academics who have studied the issue.

“History would say late planted crops generally turn out OK,” said Darrel Good, an agricultural economist at the University of Illinois.

As of May 5, American farmers had seeded 12 percent of their corn crop, a little less than what analysts had expected.

Last year at the same time they had seeded 69 percent and the five year average is 47 percent.

An average of 15 percent of the U.S. corn crop has been planted late in the 42 years from 1971 to 2012.

Late is considered anything after May 20.

This year it appears as though half the crop could go in the ground after that date.

“That would be the largest percentage late planted that we would have experienced,” said Good.

Research shows yield potential declines by about one percent per day for corn seeded in late May due to the shorter growing season, increased insect and disease pressure and higher risk of hot and dry

conditions during the critical pollination phase.

Good said it is crucial to keep in mind the research is about “yield potential,” which will be determined by a number of summer weather factors, and not “trend line yields.”

It is usually precipitation that causes the delay, which means crops that are seeded late are generally planted into moist soil, which increases yield potential.

Good said the results are a bit random, but more late-seeded U.S. corn crops tend to exceed trend line yields than those that fall short of expectations.

It all depends on what happens in July. If that critical month is cooler and wetter than normal, growers could still be in store for a fantastic corn crop despite the frustratingly slow start to 2013 planting.

Bob Nielsen, extension agronomist at Purdue University, doesn’t put faith in basing yields on when the crop is planted.

“That’s really a poor predictor of anything — good yields, bad yields, in between. It really depends on what happens the entire year,” he said.

Indiana’s corn crop was exceptionally late two years ago, and yields were nine percent below

My expectation at this juncture is we (have) probably lost maybe about one percent of our yield potential. That could accelerate over the next couple of weeks.

DARREL GOOD AGRICULTURAL ECONOMIST

trend. It was equally late four years ago and yields were nine percent above the trend.

“Those two years simply just reinforce the fact that nothing is a predictor of the absolute yield in a particular year,” said Nielsen.

Of course, there is a point at which yields will be severely diminished by late seeding.

Crop insurance benefits start to decline precipitously after about June 5 for most regions of the U.S. Midwest.

“My expectation at this juncture is we (have) probably lost maybe about one percent of our yield potential. That could accelerate over the next couple of weeks,” said Good. “If we do push planting into late May-early June, any yield expec-

tations will erode much more sharply.”

After June 5, growers in the Midwest will consider switching acres to an alternative crop such as soybeans. That may already be happening in more northerly states such as the Dakotas and Minnesota.

“We could lose a couple million acres, I would think, fairly easily,” said Good.

A reduction of that magnitude for a crop that is expected to be planted on 97 million acres this spring will have a minimal impact on prices if growers have reasonable yields, which is what Good is still forecasting.

“Prices probably would not go as low as they would have otherwise, but I don’t think it would be necessarily very supportive of prices above where we are now,” he said.

Nielsen has analyzed final planting numbers versus March intentions in Indiana in really late planting years.

The difference was rarely more than 200,000 acres for a state that grows five to six million acres of corn every year.

“What that tells us is that more often than not we do end up getting the crop planted in a timeframe that suits most of these guys,” he said.

Farmers still have a chance to get a good oat crop this summer, regardless of the late seeding date.

However, oat stocks are tight and late seeding could affect yields, which means the new crop supply and demand situation will be much tougher to gauge than likely acreage, says Randy Strychar of OatInsight.com.

“Anytime you seed in mid-May, you can expect declines in yields,” said Strychar.

“You start seeing a decline in yields from the first week of April forward.”

Much attention is being paid to farmers’ seeding intentions this year because of the low oat stocks.

Many market analysts say Statistics Canada’s March seeding intentions report is likely to be inaccurate about many crops, but Strychar thinks that won’t be true of oats because of late seeding. He expects actual seeding to be within one or two percent of Statistics Canada’s estimate of 3.4 million acres, or an 18.4 percent increase.

Oats is traditionally the last crop seeded and is considered to be the safest crop to seed late. Dedicated oat growers have shied away from late seeding in recent years because quality is king in selling to the milling oats market. However, late seeding means many farmers may still trust oats to go in late and give them a decent crop.

“I’ve seen years where we’ve pushed the crop in on June 15 and we’ve still gotten above average yields,” said Strychar.

Most analysts expect farmers to seed canola first, because that’s the best-returning crop.

“They’re going to try to ram in canola if they can,” said Strychar.

“They’ve proven they will risk the yield decline because the returns are so much better.”

Farmers have other decisions to make this year as well.

Acreage decisions are expected to be fluid in Manitoba’s Red River Valley until crops actually go in the ground. The big returns of corn and soybeans are offset by the risk of frost.

Many farmers, advisers, grain companies and traders are now debating whether those corn and soybean acres will go to canola, oats or wheat.

Strychar said oat returns are better than wheat returns, so farmers will probably stick with the plans they revealed to Statistics Canada.

Even though oats might stick to a narrow band of acreage around the Statistics Canada number, a one or two percent deviation could significantly affect the supply and demand balance, with each percentage point equalling 25,000 tonnes. With little in stock, the market starts to get twitchy. “ That could mean a lot,” said Strychar.

CANOLA | PRICE OUTLOOK

Canola price bubble may burst, warns analyst U.S. drought spurs price | High meal prices helped drive canola rally but value might fall back to veg oil trend

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Canola growers have become comfortable with high prices and good margins, but analysts say the crop’s two crucial elements are both flashing warnings.

Canola and U.S. soybean prices shot higher last summer when the U.S. Midwest drought bit in. They have since subsided but could drop significantly further if the Midwest drought ends and vegetable oil value once more determines the price for canola.

“Some caution is merited,” technical analyst Harold Davis of Prairie Crop Charts said in a recent analysis of the divergence of canola values from their traditional marriage to soybean oil prices.

“Since March 2012, the relative price difference between canola and soybean oil has been driven by canola’s meal value, so the spread is not out of line, but it would be nice to see bean oil show some life.”

Soybean oil futures have been weak for more than a year as the world became glutted with palm oil, which is the world’s baseline vegetable oil.

Canola traditionally tracks movements in soy oil much more closely

than it does soybeans because 80 percent of canola’s overall value is usually in the oil, while soybeans get most of their value from the meal.

Oil makes up 45 percent of the weight of canola seed, while it is only 20 percent in soybeans. Oil is also a much more highly valued product

than meal, which makes canola an overwhelmingly oil-priced crop.

However, the U.S. Midwest drought robbed American livestock feeders of both of their traditional feed sources: corn and soybean meal.

That increased meal prices and also drove up prices for soybeans and canola.

Chuck Penner of LeftField Commodity Research said the Midwest drought significantly affected the soybean crush component spread.

Soybeans generally found 45 percent of their value in oil in 2010 and 2011, but that fell to 33 percent as the meal component soared during the drought. It has recently returned to 38 percent.

Recent falling meal prices didn’t affect canola as much as they did soybeans because meal makes up a much smaller proportion of the weight of canola seeds.

It’s why canola prices only partially followed the incredible soybean rally of last summer, although the increase in meal value was so great that canola prices still increased by dollars per bushel.

Penner said oil prices are becoming relatively greater within the spread in recent weeks, but not because the oil is becoming more expensive. Meal

prices have been falling, so the spread might come back together for a reason that most canola growers wouldn’t like.

The weakness in vegetable oil prices worries Errol Anderson of ProMarket Communications.

Anderson said most farmers don’t realize that today’s canola prices are based on a short-term weather event and that the underlying value of the crop is weak.

“This was a bubble market,” he said.

“I don’t think the growers understand that. They’ve been led to believe canola has its own life.”

The spurt of crusher expansions and new plants has created solid ongoing prairie demand for canola, but that doesn’t mean prices are safe, Anderson said. Prices will have to fall to meet international demand if the drought premium wears off in North America.

“For the offshore market, we’re too high,” said Anderson.

Analysts say crushers and the world market are hungry for oil and meal.

However, a large supply of oil in the world market and an expected disappearance of the North American drought means farmers might have to accept lower prices to generate demand.

CHICKPEAS | MARKETS

Chickpea supply may send growers to wheat, canola Decline in acres possible | Late spring seeding and wet conditions may have growers looking at other options

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Although the chickpea ending stock level is high, one analyst says it only takes a weather problem in a key growing area for it to be sold in a hurry. | FILE PHOTO

Chickpea movement has been poor in 2012-13, which may explain why growers could be shying away from the crop this spring.

Statistics Canada reported 111,000 tonnes in stock as of March 31, up from 47,000 tonnes the previous year.

“We buy that number. It makes sense to us,” said Lionel Ector, president of Diefenbaker Seed Processors Ltd. The company from Loreburn, Sask., is a spot buyer of chickpeas and other pulse and special crops.

“It sure feels like there is more available of good quality (chickpea) product at this point in time than there was last year,” he said.

The stocks report suggests 34 percent of available chickpea supply has been moved during the first eight months of the crop year compared to the five-year average of 48 percent, according to Stat Publishing.

Carryout would still be 68,800 tonnes if the pace picked up and disappearance met the five-year average during the final four months of the crop year.

That would still be higher than Agriculture Canada’s estimate of 60,000 tonnes and much higher than the previous year’s 11,000 tonne carryout.

Ector isn’t overly concerned about that level of ending stocks because the vast majority of chickpeas grown

in Canada are kabuli types and the market for kabulis is large and global.

“That (supply) can stick around for a while or it can disappear in a very short period of time,” he said.

All it takes is a production problem in a major chickpea consumer or exporter.

“It’s extremely dry in Australia right now and they had some problems with frost earlier,” said Ector.

Statistics Canada is forecasting a 14 percent decline in Canadian chickpea acres this spring.

There have been anecdotal reports of growers abandoning the crop this spring because of seeding delays.

Chickpeas require a long growing season, especially kabuli chickpeas.

Ector said it’s too early to write off the crop. Seeding is just getting under way in his part of Saskatchewan, which is a prime region for special crops.

There is still time to get the crop in the ground before the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp.’s May 21 seeding deadline.

The wet spring is another consideration. Chickpeas don’t like wet weather, but it was extremely dry southwest of Loreburn last fall, where many chickpeas are grown, said Ector.

That said, he agreed with Statistics Canada’s forecast for an acreage contraction. He thinks the crop will lose ground to canola, wheat and other cereals.

Chuck Penner, an analyst with Left-

Field Commodity Research, believes chickpeas may also be facing stiff competition from another pulse crop.

“Some of the strength that we’ve seen in the last little while in lentils may help drain some of those acres,” he said.

High feed costs, U.S. imports hurt lamb prices U.S. drought plays role | More lambs were sent to Canada for feeding and slaughter, creating a glut in the market

BY BARB GLEN

ON THE LAMB

LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The best of times have been followed by the worst of times for Canadian sheep producers.

Prices of $1.85 to $2 per pound for lambs in 2011-12 have plummeted to as low as 85 cents to $1.20 per lb.

Many producers agreed that the heady days of top prices weren’t sustainable, but they’ve been surprised at the dramatic drop into the doldrums.

“It’s hit us pretty hard,” said lamb producer Trent Larson, who has a 500-ewe flock near Regina.

“You start to try and cut where you can because the money’s not there.

We’re not really making money on the lambs right now.”

He said high prices were good for producers but not so good for feedlots and processors further along the chain, so something had to give.

“I’ve always thought that right around $1.50 a pound is a pretty good compromise. I still believe for a healthy industry, it needs to be sustainable for all parties.”

Chris Panter, livestock market analyst for Alberta Agriculture, said markets dropped because of greater supply, less demand and higher feed prices that squeeze feeding margins.

Live imports from the United States are part of the picture.

Panter said Canada imported 19,500 head in 2011, down from 33,000 in 2010. Fewer lambs and willing buyers drove prices up.

However, Canada imported 33,000 head from the U.S. last year. Panter

said that might seem like a big number, but “it was more that the normal pattern had reestablished itself.”

Doug Verstraete, who manages Beaver Hill Auction Services in Tofield, Alta., said he thinks American imports are having a major effect on the market.

“One outfit brought in lots of American lamb and that has hurt the industry,” he said.

“I don’t mind if they go across the line and pick up a few here and there, but it was huge numbers, so those are all sitting in feedlots and going through the system … so the packers don’t need our lambs right now.”

He said SunGold, the only federal packing plant in Alberta, isn’t contracting lambs because of ample supply.

He, too, wishes for price consistency as the industry tries to encourage production to meet a larger percentage of domestic demand.

Canadian producers now fill only 44 percent of national demand.

“All the producers want is to get paid fairly, (at a value) somewhere in the middle of last year and this year, and keep it consistent or steady,

Prices for lambs have taken a nosedive from a high of $2 per pound in 2011 to 85 cents, creating uncertainty among producers. | FILE PHOTO especially for more than one year,” Verstraete said.

“It’s really hard to run a business when you’re running on all cylinders one year and then you just get blasted

the next year.”

Larson said the U.S. drought was a big factor in driving more lambs into Canada for feeding and slaughter.

Canadian buyers were able to

acquire U.S. lambs for a good price due to Americans’ desire to move their animals.

Canadian sheep inventories have also been rising as producers kept back ewes for breeding.

“There’s been building for a few years now and some of that supply might have just come onto the market because of the larger flocks,” said Panter.

He also said an early Easter and delayed warm weather reduced retail demand for the barbecue.

Spring lamb meat demand is typically higher than it has been this year.

Per capita lamb consumption is 1.04 kilograms, according to Statistics Canada. In 1997 it was marginally higher, at 1.22 kg.

As for feed prices, Larson said all producers are feeling the pinch, and feedlots in particular suffer when barley costs rise.

A good forage and pasture situation this spring and summer could improve the picture for producers.

However, there is much talk about producers downsizing or leaving the business, unable to ride out the price slump.

Larson said it’s happening, and Verstraete said even Hutterite colonies with as many as 1,400 ewes are considering their options.

A late April sheep sale in Cookstown, Ont., sold 4,200 head, almost double the average.

“It appears, and this is just an assumption, that there is some dumping going on,” said Larson.

However, he remains optimistic. “ I b e l i e v e t hat t h e p r i c e w i l l recover,” he said.

Smaller crop fails to sustain rally

Low stocks and late seeding lead to canola supply concerns

MARKET WATCH

D

ecember hard red winter wheat futures rose four percent last week on concerns about damage to the U.S. crop.

General support also came from worries about the slow pace of seeding in the United States and Canada.

The hard red winter wheat crop has done better than I expected, despite all the challenges it has faced, from drought at the time of seeding to repeated freezing temperatures after the crop came out of dormancy. It appears that the crop in the eastern part of the Plains is doing fairly well, but conditions are much worse in western regions.

Of course it has many weeks yet before it is harvested, but a tour of analysts and agricultural specialists who toured Kansas last week estimated the crop in that state, which is the largest producer of that type of wheat, at 313.1 million bushels,

down 18 percent from last year.

It estimated the average yield at 41.1 bu. per acres, down from 42 bu. last year. The main reason for the overall production decline was the tour’s estimate that farmers would abandon 18 percent of acreage, about double the normal rate.

A different group of crop consultants toured Oklahoma, the second largest hard red winter wheat producer, and forecast production there at 85.583 million bu., down 45 percent from 154.8 million a year ago.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture will produce its first production estimate of the hard red winter wheat May 10.

A Reuters poll of analysts put the range of forecasts for all winter wheat at 1.359 to 1.604 billion bu., with an average of 1.497 billion. That is down 6.6 percent from the five-year average of 1.603 billion.

Of that, the range for hard red winter was 676 to 875 million for an average of 776 million, down 23 percent from last year’s 1.004 billion.

It will be hard for wheat prices to rally further unless there is another threat elsewhere. On May 6, as I write this, December wheat lost most of the gains it made the previous week.

Forecasts for the U.S. Midwest and northern Plains turned drier over the

weekend, and if they hold true, there should be rapid seeding progress, which will pressure all crop prices.

The spring wheat cropping area of the Canadian Prairies and the U.S. northern Plains will for the most part have excellent moisture to start the crop.

Global supply of wheat is not particularly tight, with the USDA pegging global stocks at the end of 2012-13 at 182.26 million tonnes. That is down from the previous year but is still a stocks-to-use ratio of 27 percent compared to 18 percent for global oilseeds and 14.5 percent for global corn.

The wire services report that the southern part of Russia’s wheat growing region, where a lot of its exports originate, is getting a bit dry and rainfall was expected to be inadequate in the first two weeks of May. However, it still appears farmers there expect much better crops than last year, when severe dry conditions sapped yields.

It is also dry in southeastern Australia, threatening the start to seeding in that country. States affected include New South Wales, which produces about a quarter of the country’s wheat crop, and Victoria, which produces about 16 percent.

WINNIPEG (Reuters) — Canadian canola stocks fell 25 percent to an eight-year low as of March 31, Statistics Canada said May 3, and wheat supplies also dwindled more than expected.

The thin stocks highlight supply concerns as planting season got off to a slow start in Western Canada due to cold, wet weather.

Canola supplies on farms and in commercial storage fell to 3.909 million tonnes, just below the lowest estimate in a pre-report Reuters trade survey. All-wheat stocks fell eight percent to a lower than expected 13.459 million tonnes, the smallest supplies in five years.

“There’s some big concern. People are talking about continued export demand from China, plus the stats are certainly showing that the (Canadian canola) crusher continues to eat it up with both hands,” said Tony Tryhuk, manager of commodity trading at RBC Dominion Securities, adding he was surprised futures prices were not stronger after the report.

“Things are going to be fairly snug.”

Supplies of U.S. soybeans are also tight, and dry conditions are expected to curb Australia’s canola output.

Traders surveyed by Reuters had

expected canola stocks of 4.1 million tonnes and all-wheat supplies of 13.9 million tonnes.

With supplies so tight, it will be tough for buyers to draw the remaining canola from farmers’ hands, said John Duvenaud of Wild Oats Grain Market Advisory.

Even though wheat supplies are tight, there is no shortage, Duvenaud said.

“It’s an old saw that when Canada runs out of wheat, that’s a real situation,” he said.

Canada is on course to have ample leftover supplies at the end of the 2012-13 crop year on July 31, he added.

Statistics Canada said in an April 24 report that farmers intend to plant the biggest wheat crop in 12 years but seed less canola for the first time since 2006.

Statistics Canada said in its May 3 report that barley supplies fell 10 percent to 2.961 million tonnes and oat stocks were down 30 percent to 1.214 million tonnes, both more than expected. Durum supplies of 2.663 million tonnes were down 14 percent, in line with expectations.

Statistics Canada surveyed farmers from March 25 to April 3. It will issue planting estimates June 25.

CANFAX REPORT

Beef prices heat up with grilling season

FED PRICES IMPROVE

Record high wholesale prices | American supermarkets prepare for the start of summer CHICAGO Ill. (Reuters) — U.S. wholesale beef prices rose to an alltime high May 3.

Analysts said the increase came as the delayed spring grilling season heated up and supermarkets bought meat for the May 27 U.S. Memorial Day holiday weekend, commonly seen as the unofficial start of the summer cookout season.

The cold, soggy start to spring put outdoor cookouts on hold throughout most of April, but temperatures are climbing in the coming weeks, prompting grocers to stock up for a seasonal bump in sales of steaks, burgers and other cookout favourites.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported May 3 that the wholesale price for choice beef, commonly called the cutout, was $201.68 US per hundredweight, eclipsing the previous record of $201.18 set Oct. 16, 2003.

“You’re now finally getting the seasonal rally occurring for beef that’s about three weeks late getting started,” said Chicago-based Linn Group analyst John Ginzel. “I suspect some retailers are booking product for Memorial Day features.”

The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association’s weekly retail scanner data shows Memorial Day ranks third in weekly holiday beef retail sales at $370 million, behind U.S. Labor Day sales of $380 million. The U.S. July Fourth holiday is No. 1 at $400 million.

Record-high wholesale beef prices could increase the lofty beef prices at grocery stores even more, analysts said.

The average retail beef price in March hit a record $5.30 per pound, surpassing the previous record of $5.15 in November, according to the

government’s Economic Research Service.

“The cutout’s explosion to a new record puts us in pretty rarified air.

That increases the chances of push back by retailers against higher prices,” said Oak Investment Group president Joe Ocrant.

“Conversely, the cattle numbers are at their lowest in more than 60 years and the grilling season is just getting underway, postponed by the bad

spring weather.”

A prolonged dry spell in the southwestern U.S., which followed a historic drought in the Plains, damaged pastures. The lack of moisture drove up feed costs and shrunk the herd to its smallest in 61 years.

The NCBA, funded by the Beef Checkoff Program, is doing its part to ensure that beef stays on barbecue grills.

“There are a variety of products and

price points that will fit anyone’s budget,” said the NCBA’s Trevor Amen. “Regardless of what beef prices do, there are still a lot of cost savings options for Americans to include it in their diet.”

He said traditional grilling items, such as filets, rib eyes, tenderloins and ground beef, will remain the top cuts, but there will be mid-price items like flat iron and ranch cuts as well.

Rapeseed area down eight percent in France from 3.76 million seen last month and now eight percent lower than the 2012 level, the farm ministry said.

The Centre region, Poitou-Charentes in the west and Lorraine in the northeast accounted for 90 percent of a decrease of 316,300 acres compared with last year, it said.

“Due to the heavy rain during winter, rapeseed in these zones experienced difficulties in plants establishing themselves and emerging, leading in some cases to plots being dug up,” the ministry said in a monthly crop report.

In a first estimate for this year’s French grain corn crop, the farm ministry put the area at 4.05 million acres, down about half a percent from last year but up almost one percent from the average of the past five years.

As of May 1, 46 percent of the projected area had been seeded, down from 54 percent a year earlier, it said.

Cold weather in late March and early April delayed seeding of spring

crops like corn and spring barley in Europe, although warmer conditions have since allowed field work to accelerate.

Farm office FranceAgriMer said in a weekly update that 57 percent of grain corn had been sown as of April 29, up from 29 percent the previous week and close to 60 percent a year ago.

For soft wheat, the farm ministry raised its estimate slightly to 12.31 million acres from 12.28 million last month, leaving the area up 2.4 percent on year.

The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range sold at prices up to $3.60 Cdn per pound hot hanging weight.

Contracted animals sold at prices up to $3.75. Grade A heifers sold up to $3.55 with contracts to $3.65.

Animals older than 30 months and those outside the desirable buyer

LAMBS, SHEEP FALL Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported 4,206 sheep and lambs and 326 goats traded April 29. Quality lambs and sheep opened at steady prices but closed lower due to the large volume.

The stronger Canadian dollar and weaker U.S. cow prices weakened Canadian cow prices. D1, D2 ranged $72-$85 to average $77.44 and D3 ranged $64-$74 to average $69.

Western Canadian cow slaughter was up 51 percent from the same week last year, but a flush of culls over the past few weeks allowed packers to rebuild inventory.

Exports to April 13 fell seven percent to 7,323 head.

FEEDER VOLUME INCREASES More feeders were offered last week, with Alberta auction volumes up 43 percent and Saskatchewan up 211 percent from the same week last year.

Saskatchewan buyers have expressed good interest in Alberta grass cattle over the past couple of weeks.

There is little to no price slide between 450 and 550 pound steers.

Alberta auction volumes totalled 30,651 head. Weekly exports to April 20 rose seven percent to 11,011.

Auction volumes will tighten in May. Some grass buyers still need supply, so interest in 700-800 lb. feeders should improve.

BEEF SETS RECORD U.S. beef cut-out values traded sharply higher. Choice cutouts surged $9 US and set a new record high of $200.59 per cwt. May 2, while Select rose $6 to $190.64 per cwt.

Choice hit $198.80 in February and $199.38 in October.

Canadian cut-out values were unavailable. Montreal wholesale prices were steady at $218-$219 per cwt.

HEALTH | HERBICIDE MISINFORMATION

CRAIG’S VIEW

Pseudo science may stifle industry innovation

A

single paper published last month purports to reveal the common denominator behind cancer, diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, inflammatory bowel disease, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Crohn’s, Lou Gehrig’s, multiple sclerosis, infertility, kidney problems, depression, autism, schizophrenia, osteopenia, cachexia, zinc deficiency, obesity and anorexia nervosa.

The root of these ills, the paper implies, is glyphosate, one of the most commonly used herbicides in agriculture.

But there’s a problem with this facile explanation. The paper is considered deeply flawed by the scientific community. It is a collection of data citing 286 sources that appeared in a pay-to-publish physics journal and was written by a computer science expert from MIT and an independent researcher who investigates industrial polluters.

It’s bad science. And bad science is worse than no science.

Monsanto, inventor of glyphosate, responded to the paper with the expected dispatch and denial.

The surprising response came from scientists who were outraged by the paper’s flaws. They said it made unsupported conclusions, stretched the bounds of credibility in attributing such a wide range of illnesses to one cause, and was an example of pseudoscience in which hypotheses are merely claims without adequate verification.

“This may be one of the first times that people who understood what bad science it was began to call out everyone from GM Watch and Rodale Press to the Environmental Working Group for publicizing a report that may make them feel good in the short term but will only hurt their cause in the long term,” wrote Glynn Young of Monsanto.

“The paper is by two authors with dubious credentials and is such a mash up of pseudoscience and gibberish that actual scientists have been unable to make sense of it,” wrote Keith Kloor of Discover magazine.

In these times when both truth and lies

can be disseminated at lightning speed through social media, it becomes ever more important to think critically about information.

In terms of environment and food, people are actively seeking more information than ever before. Excellent.

However, the onus is on every information consumer to consider the source and gauge the material on its true merits.

The above noted paper is only the most recent example of information torqued and tweeted to the detriment of fact.

Little more than a year ago, controversy over use of lean finely textured beef in the United States — the much maligned “pink slime” — caused processing plant closures and job losses in the thousands.

The science behind the product was sound and remains so, but its loss in food has raised costs and reduced food recovery from every beef carcass.

Joe Roybal of Beef Magazine quotes Iowa State University professor James Dickson as saying fears of controversy similar to that of pink slime could stifle innovation in the meat sector.

If that fear is also felt in other sectors, as is likely the case, it’s a sobering thought.

How ironic that a growing thirst for knowledge could choke its actual pursuit and application.

Consumer backlash has become instant, while recovery from damage due to misinformation can take months, years, perhaps even millennia.

The sheer volume of information is also an impediment. Witness the ongoing debate over antibiotic use or misuse in human medicine and livestock production. Medical sources blame the livestock industry, while livestock sources say over-prescription in human medicine is the culprit.

Grains of truth might well be found in every example cited here. To produce pearls of wisdom, however, those grains have to be given the pressure of critical thought.

FOOD BANKS | FEDERAL PROGRAM

Thriving Canadian food banks elicit mixed feelings and serious questions NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

F

arm Credit Canada and agriculture minister Gerry Ritz joined forces at an east end Ottawa Food Bank warehouse this week to launch a national drive away hunger campaign.

It is a great initiative by the minister, the national farm lender and the Canadian food bank establishment.

FCC has been doing this for years.

The goal is to have FCC employees in five provinces — Alberta, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec and Saskatchewan — collect food for those who do not have enough to feed themselves or their families through the month.

The focus is on rural Canada’s hungry.

“FCC’s drive away hunger campaign is making an impact in rural communities across the country,“ Food Banks Canada said in a statement before the May 7 launch of the campaign in Ottawa.

“The passion and drive of their employees is inspiring and is a testament to the commitment they have to their communities.”

Yet there remains a plague of hunger and malnutrition in our midst.

Hunger in Canada. How can that be?

It is one of the world’s richest countries and a veritable storehouse of protein production, much of which is exported.

Canada has its share of obese people. It has its share of over-fed and food wasting people.

Yet within the country, hunger stalks the land.

In Alberta, 53,000 people use food banks every month. In Saskatchewan, the number is 25,000 and in Ontario, 412,000.

In fact, food banks have become a mainstay of Canadian society since the first one was launched more than 25 years ago in Edmonton as a “temporary” measure during an economic downturn,.

More than one million Canadians, many of them children, use food banks every year.

So this week’s FCC launch of the latest food bank drive, supported for the first time in person by the agriculture minister, is a tribute to FCC’s commitment to social responsibility and the government’s support.

That’s the good news.

The bad news has to be that in a country as rich as Canada, food banks offering food charity to hundreds of thousands of Canadians still are necessary and are in fact a growing part of the national fabric.

Critics insist there is a “food bank industry” or a “food bank dependence” syndrome that leads people to depend on charity for their protein rather than look after themselves.

That may be true for some, but as a kid whose rural parents slid into deeper poverty and welfare payment survival for a while after ill-

ness, evidence is not strong that people would rather beg than fend for themselves.

So in a country as rich as Canada, where food is plentiful, surpluses are exported and standard-of-living ratings are among the world’s highest, it is unconscionable that food banks feed one in 30, that government is in the business of promoting charity and that poverty or other causes have made food banks a community mainstay.

Good on FCC, Ritz and the Canadian government for supporting them.

Bad on Canada for not seriously examining why in this land of milk and honey, families and their children still have to line up and feel the humiliation of asking for food charity.

Supply management also hurts farmers

Worst job ever?

I respectfully beg to differ

BY ERIC MERKLEY

W

hat tends to get lost in discussions about Canada’s system of supply management is that consumers aren’t the only victims of the status quo. The system also hurts farmers, particularly export dependent producers in Western Canada.

Supply management was developed early in the 20th century as a means to empower independent producers who were vulnerable to price exploitation by middlemen and an oligopoly of food processors.

In dairy, it was even more problematic. Dairy farmers had to accept the prices of the processor oligopoly or lose everything due to the high perishability of their product. The creation of marketing boards increased their bargaining power.

However, they could not overcome problems of free ridership. Larger producers could afford to undercut the prices of the marketing board.

The mandatory system of supply management was developed to avoid these problems.

Given the economic circumstances of the time, it is understandable that producers pushed for government protection.

Additionally, dairy industries in many other countries were massively subsidized.

But times have changed. In a globalized world, processors are exposed to more competition than ever before, and producers have the ability to explore market opportunities abroad. The prospects for price exploitation have diminished.

Additionally, the taxpayer subsidization of dairy has massively de-

Supply management might have been needed once, but today it does more harm than good, says the author. | FILE PHOTO clined among Canada’s trading partners.

For example, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development says the United States has reduced its overall transfers from more than 50 percent of farmgate income in 1998 to less than two percent today, while New Zealand and Australia have almost entirely liberalized their dairy markets.

The supply managed sector has far less to fear from a liberalized market than in the past. The arguable benefits of supply management in the past can-

not justify the current costs of the system on farmers.

More than 90 percent of farmers depend on the export market for a living, and their interest in market access is being sacrificed to preserve supply management.

To maintain the status quo, we have to give up potential gains for other export-orientated industries, such as the grain, oilseed, pork and beef sectors.

For example, a leaked trade memo on the European Union-Canada trade talks revealed an agreement

between the two parties that allows Canada to maintain supply management in exchange for the maintenance of European trade barriers to Canadian beef and pork.

The supply management lobby likes to claim that trade deals have never been blocked over the issue.

If the Canada-EU trade agreement is signed, it will be of small comfort to Canadian beef and pork producers.

The market access interests of the vast majority of Canadian farmers are routinely sacrificed by the federal government at the altar of supply management.

It is a myth that supply management benefits the family farm. Benefits accrue to the wealthy, who can afford the high price of quota. They maintain the system by shutting out the enterprising “little guy.”

Supply management was created with a noble aim, but it is an anachronism that is damaging our reputation abroad and compromising market access for the vast majority of Canadian farmers. Designed to help small farmers, it is a system that now benefits only a wealthy oligopoly of producers.

If the Conservative government wants to stand up for the interests of Canadian farmers and make a serious effort to pursue free trade, it must immediately pursue a responsible and gradual liberalization of the supply managed sector.

COMMUNITY SPIRIT | CO-OPERATION

Helping hands mean no one is left behind HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

I

n the seeding rush that lies ahead, don’t hesitate to help a neighbour if you can.

In many regions, the start to seeding is two to three weeks behind normal. Additional wet weather delays could mean a lot of unseeded acres.

The planting window will be tight.

Everyone needs to worry about their own seeding first, but if you’re lucky enough to get your acres finished, why not offer a helping hand to someone that’s still struggling?

Even if you’re still seeding your own land, there are sometimes little things you can do to help out a neighbour, friend or relative that don’t impede your overall progress.

With producers competing against each other to buy and rent land, the sense of community can occasionally be lost. Yes, you might be helping someone you’ll compete against to rent the next parcel of land that hits the market. Or maybe they’ve already scooped up land that you wanted to farm.

Get over it. There’s a lot more to be gained than lost by offering assistance. And it can actually be fun to team up for that final push.

Even good Samaritans shouldn’t be expected to run their equipment for free. If it’s just a few days with your seeder, make note of it and the favour can be returned during a future spring or harvest.

Another option is to charge a typical custom rate. Neighbours are usually pretty good at working these things out.

If someone always lags the rest of the pack with seeding and harvest, they may have an inherent lack of capacity.

Perhaps they need to bolster their equipment or labour or maybe they

should be scaling back. Or maybe they should make hiring a custom operator part of their business plan for some of their acres.

However, every year there are producers who run into unforeseen challenges and could really use some help from surrounding operations.

Neighbours tend to rally to the aid of someone who faces a catastrophic event, but not always for more minor setbacks.

Maybe it’s a health issue in the family. Maybe its a key piece of equipment that has broken down. Perhaps a new or new-to-you piece of equipment failed to meet expectations.

Age catches up with both people and machines.

Maybe a weather system dumped extra rain and snow on some of your land base. Maybe your flooding issues were worse than your neighbours’.

Often, a number of issues combine to thwart your progress.

Some operations are better able to compensate for unexpected problems, but we’re all vulnerable. If you

help others when you can, assistance is more likely to be offered when you have problems.

Personally, I’ve been the recipient of considerably more help than I’ve been able to repay, but as my operation becomes better organized, I hope to be in a position to even the score.

In my experience, farmers are often more willing to offer help than they are to accept it. If you could use a hand, don’t let pride get in the way.

And don’t look for excuses as to why additional help would be problematic. If help is offered, explore ways to make it work.

We’re a few decades removed from threshing crews and regular barn raising events, but let’s not lose that spirit of co-operation.

Yes, we’re all separate businesses and in some ways we do compete.

But we’re also social beings inhabiting the same rural locations.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

A

recent American list of the best and worst jobs rated my job (well, newspaper reporter) at the very bottom. Careercast. com says it’s the worst job of the past quarter century.

I wish they hadn’t told me that. I rather like this job.

Of course, that’s the view in the United States, where many papers have folded and others have gone entirely digital, says Careercast. Still, it’s probably similar in Canada. And it’s not just job availability that has affected reporters, the company says: it’s also long hours, high stress and dwindling budgets.

Tough work, if you can get it.

Farmers weren’t too far behind.

After the reporter, lumberjack, soldier, actor and oil rig worker came dairy farmer.

Careercast said dairy farming (there was no mention of other kinds of farming) was “especially challenging,” with larger farms forcing smaller ones out of business. Furthermore, those remaining in the field “are tasked with caring for dozens, hundreds, even thousands of animals. All those cows can make for a physically unpleasant and possibly dangerous work environment.”

But one farmer, who decided to remain anonymous, commented on the careercast.com website that the analysis was ridiculous.

“Farming is more than a job, it’s a way of life. I’m a dairy farmer and couldn’t ask for a better way to live.

Unpredictable hours, dangerous, make little money, work in all types of weather conditions? Of course.

But maybe I like a challenge.”

I rather thought he pinned the mix of freedom, lifestyle and entrepreneurial gusto that describes most, if not all, farmers. If you don’t like a challenge, farming is probably not for you.

Let’s compare journalism and farming with the so-called best jobs, then.

The best job was actuary, described as low-stress with high pay and with plenty of opportunities. Next was biomedical engineer! How many people are going to do that?

These were followed by audiologist (probably since we’re all getting older and will need hearing aids), financial planner, occupational therapist, optometrist, physical therapist and computer systems analyst.

Looking at that list, it makes me wonder why there’s such a push to get kids out of university and stream them into trades.

I wouldn’t give this up for any of those best jobs, attractive as they are.

I bet you wouldn’t, either.

Research has shown that shelter belt rows around yards reduce the amount of energy needed to heat homes and buildings by up to 25 percent and that one tree can clean the air for four people.

WE NEED ANSWERS To the Editor: Lyle Stewart, Saskatchewan’s minister of agriculture, belittles agricultural and environmental groups’ Public Pastures Public Interest initia-

tive to have the 1.6 million acres of community pastures “continue to serve the broader public interests of all Saskatchewan people.”

The Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities and the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan passed resolutions requesting the provincial government keep the pastures under crown ownership.

Wildlife and conservation groups are concerned about losing wildlife habitat. PPPI is concerned these 62 pastures “could end up in the hands of out-of-province corporations.”

The (premier Brad) Wall government ignores the wishes of reputable groups in Saskatchewan. The megamall project, involving Chinese and

Asian investors, demonstrates a lack of foresight by provincial, municipal and city governance.

The public has no information as to who authorized the acquisition of one million sq. feet of land adjacent to Dundurn. Questions surround this deal with foreign owners.

If Joe Zhou is Brightenview’s CEO, why can’t he say who investors are?

What is Brightenview? Is it funded by tax-haven or off-shore money?

Does Saskatchewan need 350 Chinese-Asian factory owned businesses selling strictly Chinese-Asian products on Saskatoon’s doorstep?

Does Saskatchewan’s minister of labour welcome the prospect of nonunion, low-paid workers as a way to please business friends?

WIDER RESPONSIBILITY To the Editor: Re: Sustainable agricultural policies will soon land in farmers’ laps (WP Apr. 11). So, huge multinational food companies are starting to realize that the consumer wants sustainably raised food.

Well, the responsibility for this cannot rest only on farmers’ shoulders, even if it does land in our laps.

It was mentioned that a supply of fresh water is necessary for healthy food production.

We are faced with an oil and gas industry, using high pressure horizontal hydraulic fracturing techniques, that contaminates millions of litres of fresh water for each of its wells and pushes it deep underground, never, we hope, to return to the surface. And there are hundreds of these wells.

We are asked to reduce the use of chemicals and fertilizers. We can certainly do that.

However, we have no control over the dangerous chemicals that are spewed over our landscape or leaked into our water by this industry.

Healthy and productive soil will be needed for sustainable agriculture to flourish, but each year, tens of thousands of acres of farmland are taken up by oil and gas installations. Studies have shown that this land can never be fully reclaimed.

So perhaps those CEOs of the food giants should look over their investment portfolios and start attending some oil and gas stockholders’ meetings. Maybe that is the appropriate direction for some of the push. Farmers can do only so much.

OUT OF WHACK To the Editor: Just finished getting your yearly income tax return sorted out? Consider these facts.

KPMG’s semi annual 2012 tax report ranked Canada lowest in corporate tax rates, taking only 15 percent of corporate profits in taxes, as compared to the United Kingdom

with 26 percent and the United States at 41 percent.

Other countries, such as Germany and Australia, maintain solid economic growth with double our current corporate tax rate.

Corporate tax savings have not gone into new machinery and R&D as promised, but is stashed in corporate cash accounts.

The corporate cash stash now totals $584 billion, almost enough to pay off the national debt. Despite low tax rates, Canadian corporations are increasingly turning to tax havens to pay even less.

Five of Canada’s top eight destinations for direct foreign investment are tax havens.

In 2011, a quarter of Canada’s “investments” abroad were in tax havens, up from 10 percent in 1987.

Profits are up and wages are down as a percentage of GDP. Thirty years ago, Canada’s top fed-

eral personal income tax rate was 43 percent. Now it is 29 percent, far below the U.S. rate of 39.6 percent.

Just who is our federal government working for? The corporate bandits are getting the gold; you and I are getting the shaft.

Education programs for NPs have high dropout rates, often due to financial burdens placed on the NP student.

e might be inclined to think people from ancient times were primitive. However, the more I examine the Hebrew Scriptures, the more I appreciate their level of sophistication.

For example, examine Genesis 1 and the understanding the story tellers from 3,500 years ago had about seeds and plants.

“Let the earth sprout out seeds, plant-seeding seed, fruit trees making fruit, each of its own kind ….

And God was pleased with what he saw.”

Sages who lived in the region of the Jordan, Nile, Tigris and Euphrates rivers knew what lush growth was.

“In terms of genetic heritage, this is one of the nutritional centres of the whole Earth,” Ellen Davis writes in her book Scripture, Culture and Agriculture.

Wild harvest became domesticated crops, such as wheat, barley, lentils, peas, chickpeas and vetch. Residents learned about food storage, the invention of cultivation and finding cereals and legumes with non-shattering seed heads.

In contrast to those who bowed down to the fertility gods, the Hebrews understood “the Creator of heaven and earth is the generous One who provides food for every living creature.”

And God handed all of this over to humankind to have mastery over these things.

The meaning here implies the kind of care a shepherd gives his flock, the care a community expects of those who act responsibly.

In recent years, there are those who believe that seed should be owned, patented and used as a means for economic gain for a select few.

People of faith need to speak out.

Scripture helps us interconnect the relationship between the Earth and the Creator.

Religious people have developed a capacity to develop and reflect on their imagination. Also, we care about social justice, which includes food production and distribution, those who care for the land and those who are without food.

Dairy discount designed to make pizza cheese cheaper Mozzarella discount | Farmers and restaurateurs approve of move that reduces costs for mozzarella processors buying Canadian milk STORIES BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Canadian milk processed into mozzarella cheese will be discount priced effective June 1.

The move is designed to deal with persistent restaurant complaints that high cheese prices are driving their members out of business.

The Canadian Dairy Commission announced the new 3(d) milk class last week, and it estimated it could reduce processor milk costs and dairy farmer income by as much as $27 million annually.

However, dairy farm leaders and the restaurant industry, which has often has been a vocal critic of supply management, say all sides win in the deal.

The compromise was announced just days before the dairy farmer lobby lost a bid before the Canadian International Trade Tribunal to block import of mozzarella cheese from the United States that is packaged with pepperoni to avoid high import tariffs for cheese.

Dairy Farmers of Canada president

Wally Smith said the mozzarella pricing deal announced last week and the CITT case were not connected, despite critic assertions otherwise.

Smith, supported by others involved in the agreement, said discussions have been underway for more than a year and long before the CITT case started.

He said the agreement to allow a new lower-priced milk class designated for mozzarella production will help producers by increasing processor purchases of Canadian milk.

It will also increase the overall health of the Canadian dairy industry, he said.

“If we sell more pizza using Canadian cheese, that means more milk purchases by processors,” said Smith. “It is a win-win for the entire industry.”

The Canadian Restaurant and Foodser vices Association also argued that all sectors win. It has campaigned long and hard for cheaper Canadian milk and cheese prices to compete with frozen pizza manufacturers that have had access to much lower cheese prices.

“This is a major step forward and our members are ecstatic,” CRFA president Garth Whyte said.

“It really does show that if different parts of the industry work together, we can find solutions that benefit us all.”

There was a more exultant tone on the CFRA website, suggesting that further attempts to reduce dairy product prices will follow this “first step.”

The web message proclaimed “cheaper cheese” for restaurateurs making pizza.

“CRFA has negotiated this new cheese price to help offset the discount that frozen pizza manufacturers have enjoyed for many years,” said the message.

“CRFA has been the only business association fighting for fair dairy prices for restaurant owners. This is a great first step.”

Dairy commission communications official Carole Cyr said that while many considerations go into the cost of mozzarella cheese to restaurants, the price discount should be worth five to 10 percent in milk purchase costs to processors.

The Canadian Dairy Commission has announced a new milk class that provides a discount for processors making mozzarella cheese from Canadian milk. | FILE PHOTO She said at the restaurant level, it depends on how much of the discount saving is passed on from processors to restaurant customers.

Restaurants will have to register

with the CDC to be eligible for cheaper mozzarella.

“If they register, they should see the bulk of this benefit passed down to them,” said Whyte.

Canada’s milk marketing boards c a n n o t c ha l l e n g e a c o r p o rat e scheme to avoid prohibitively high cheese import tariffs because they are not importers, a federal trade tribunal has ruled.

The dairy industry says the scheme is a serious challenge to the supply management system and demands a government response.

The May 3 ruling by the Canadian In t e r n a t i o na l T ra d e T r i b u na l allows tariff-free import of mozzarella cheese packaged with pepperoni, which avoids the normal over-quota cheese tariff of more than 240 percent.

BalanceCo, which represents 10 provincial milk marketing boards, appealed to the CITT to stop tarifffree imports of mozzarella as a violation of Canadian supply management import controls.

The CITT said that as non-importers, the milk marketing boards cannot challenge the imports.

Dairy Farmers of Canada quickly issued a statement suggesting a further appeal is possible.

It also called on the federal government to react by defending the import protections that supply managed sectors have under a system supported and defended by Ottawa.

“Today’s decision by the CITT should be as concerning to government as it is to Dairy Farmers of Canada,” DFC said.

“CITT has decided that domestic industry is not in a position to raise

issues about the clear breaches such as direct circumvention of the trade rules.”

The dairy lobby said the federal government supports supply management import controls as part of a production control and price-setting system and “expects the federal government will continue to demonstrate its clear role in upholding the mechanisms that support the system.”

The scheme devised by J Cheese Inc. to import mozzarella cheese in a tariff-free package with pepperoni has allowed several thousand tonnes of cheese to be imported without control, the dairy industry argued.

The case mirrors an earlier dairy industry battle when importers in the 1990s were bypassing import tariffs by mixing butter oil with 51 percent sugar to avoid the dairy tariff and then separating the butter oil for domestic use in cheaper ice cream.

After years of legal challenges, the dairy industry lost the battle to include butter oil-sugar imports under supply management tariff controls.

The CITT decision came two days after the milk marketing boards agreed to a compromise that will allow processors to buy Canadian milk at a lower price if it is used to produce mozzarella cheese in Canada.

They say the milk pricing compromise and the CITT case are not related.

JUNCEA CANOLA | NEW HYBRID

Viterra excited about juncea hybrid release Yield improvement | Juncea canola is heat and drought tolerant and resists pod shattering better than napus varieties

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Viterra is launching a product that could help the canola industry break through its acreage limitations.

The grain company is hoping to contract 19,000 acres of the world’s first canola quality juncea hybrid this spring.

Xceed Hybrid VT X121 CL was registered in February and is available in limited quantities for growers in the target area of the brown and dark brown soil zones. The company considers the hybrid its most exciting varietal release to date.

“This was a big step for us,” said Ryan McCann, manager of Viterra’s seed commercialization division.

One of the knocks on juncea canola is the yield drag compared to regular canola. Viterra’s new hybrid delivered a 25 percent yield improvement over VT Oasis CL, an Xceed open pollinated variety, in grower strip trials conducted last year.

It also performed well against the company’s napus hybrid 45P70 in 15 performance check trials.

“We were basically equal to the napus hybrids in those brown and dark brown soil zones,” said McCann.

He believes the new hybrid will appeal to growers in some areas of the brown and dark brown soil zones who have been avoiding canola because it is too risky to grow in what is normally a dry region of the Prairies.

Juncea canola offers increased tolerance to heat and drought in moisture-deprived areas.

Growers will also be able to straight cut the crop because of its inherent pod shatter resistance. Company research shows that one to two bushels per acre of seeds were lost to pod shattering, half the amount found with conventional napus canola varieties. That allows growers to hold off on harvest activity, which comes with additional benefits.

“We’re seeing reduced green seed because guys aren’t pushing it in terms of the swathing timing and improved seed quality as well,” said McCann.

Patti Miller, president of the Canola Council of Canada, said there has been lots of talk in recent years about canola acres maxing out.

“We don’t think we’re quite at the limit,” she said.

However, she welcomes the addition of any crop that can expand the region where canola is grown.

“If the varieties give farmers more choice and they can tolerate different conditions more effectively, that’s a very good thing,” said Miller.

Franck Groeneweg, vice-chair of the Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission, can see how the crop could appeal to growers in southwestern Saskatchewan who are just starting to dabble in canola.

However, he wonders if this is the best time to be showcasing the crop.

“In the last few years, we’ve been dealing with more excess moisture than anything, so drought is probably far from farmers’ minds in some ways,” he said.

The new juncea hybrid could help the canola industry push past the acreage ceiling it is facing as growers push rotations as much as possible.

“Generally, guys in the southwest

If you look globally, (the potential) would be millions of acres, for sure, because there’s lots of geographies with low rainfall areas that certainly would be interested in growing canola.

RYAN MCCANN, VITERRA SEED COMMERCIALIZATION DIVISION

haven’t been growing that much canola,” said Groeneweg.

“Having canola grown in a wider area of the province reduces some of the risk that we have with production problems (elsewhere).”

McCann said there is potential for significant acreage in Western Canada and around the world. The product is also being launched in the United States and Australia this year.

“If you look globally, (the potential)

would be millions of acres, for sure, because there’s lots of geographies with low rainfall areas that certainly would be interested in growing canola.”

Viterra’s closed loop production contract provides growers with a $30 per tonne premium.

The new hybrid contains the Clearfield tolerance trait, which means the oil can be marketed as non-genetically modified oil.

“That’s primarily the reason why there is that $30 per tonne (premium) on the contract,” said McCann.

The other reason is that juncea

meal is higher in protein and lower in fibre than canola meal.

Juncea canola requires slightly different agronomics than napus canola.

Viterra recommends growers plant the crop at higher seeding rates of six to seven pounds per acre.

Xceed is different from other Clearfield canolas. Growers should not use products such as Absolute, Lontrel or any herbicide containing clopyralid.

That could result in yield reductions of 50 percent or more.

A fall or pre-seed application of Edge could also injure the crop.

Stewardship program to be flexible: Sask minister Eligibility criteria | NFU says the 320-acre rule would exclude market gardeners, fruit growers or other specialty producers

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Changes to a government program that pays Saskatchewan producers to adopt environmentally friendly farming practices discriminate against small farmers, says the National Farmers Union.

The Canada-Saskatchewan Farm Stewardship Program provides financial incentives to farmers who implement beneficial management practices that protect soil, water and air quality.

A maximum of $50,000 is available to producers who qualify under the program, but small farmers who own or control less two quarter sections of land may not be eligible.

Eligible farmers must control at least 320 acres of farmland and earn a minimum of $35,000 in farm income.

Provincial agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said eligibility criteria for the program are similar to those used in other programs, such as the Farm and Ranch Water Infrastructure Program, which provides assistance for farmers and ranchers who develop secure water sources as a means of mitigating the impact of drought.

“We chose that (eligibility criteria) because … the intent was to target the programming to people who make a significant portion of their living from farming and to avoid scarce programming dollars being spent on acreages,” Stewart said.

Farmers who control fewer than 320 acres might still qualify for funding, he added, but they will have to prove that they are operating a commercially viable farming operation.

“The average farm size in this province is now 1,668 acres — that’s five times the 320 acre criteria — but if a specialty operator with less than 320 acres can show that they have a commercially viable farming operation, they will be considered on a case-bycase basis for program eligibility as well,” Stewart said.

NFU president Terry Boehm, who farms near Allan, Sask., said programs that establish eligibility criteria based on size and income can discourage new entrants into agriculture.

“I think it’s a fundamental error on the part of governments because smaller farms are where new entrants come into the game,” Boehm said.

New farmers are often smaller and less likely to meet the $35,000 income threshold established under the program, he said.

The 320-acre rule, if rigidly enforced, would also exclude operators such as market gardeners, fruit growers and specialty producers who grow crops or raise livestock intensively on a relatively small land base.

“If you’re serious about doing some forms of environmental improvement within agriculture, why would you eliminate this category?” Boehm said.

Statistics from the 2011 Census of

Agriculture suggest that Saskatchewan had 37,000 census farms in May 2011. Of those, 6,700, or 18 percent, were listed as having 240 acres or less.

Statistics from 2006 show that more than 25 percent of the province’s farms had farm receipts of $25,000 or less.

Stewart said program administrators will be as flexible as possible in determining eligibility.

The revamped program offers payments for 13 beneficial management practices under six categories, including manure, land, pest, irrigation and livestock site management and precision farming.

BEES | EUROPEAN UNION PESTICIDE BAN

Canadian beekeepers welcome EU neonicotinoid pesticide ban

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The European Union’s decision to ban a class of insecticides that potentially threaten bees is welcome news, says the president of the Ontario Beekeepers Association.

Late last month, the EU announced a two year ban on three popular neonicotinoids, which are primarily applied as insecticidal treatments to crops on millions of acres around the world.

The three products are thiamethoxam, a Syngenta product commonly known as Cruiser, and two Bayer insecticides, clothianidin and imidacloprid.

The ban represents a positive step forward, said Dan Davidson, president of the Ontario association, which has been lobbying for similar restrictions in Canada.

“I would describe it as pleased that someone is taking action on these (insecticides),” said Davidson.

The EU ruling will likely amplify beekeeper, public and environmental group demands for a ban in North America, he added.

Davidson said he wasn’t concerned about neonicotinoids until last spring, when apiarists discovered thousands of dead bees in their bee yards. Beekeepers suspected that dust from corn planters had blown onto plants and flowers near bee yards.

A subsequent Pest Management Regulatory Agency investigation confirmed that corn seeds treated with clothianidin or thiamethoxam “contributed to the majority of the bee mortalities” last spring.

Davidson submitted dead bee samples from 10 bee yards and every sample came back positive for clothianidin. The experience altered his perspective on neonicotinoids.

“I had a conversation last year with a reporter and I wasn’t worried about seed treatments. That’s how quickly my mind has changed on these things,” he said.

The two-year ban by the EU on neonicotinoids will apply to all crops except winter cereals and crops that aren’t attractive to bees, beginning Dec. 1. | FILE PHOTO “We’ve seen dead bees in front of our hives before during planting time. But we didn’t realize what it was…. Last spring was the first spring we kind of connected the dots.”

The Ontario association is also lobbying for independent research on the threat to soil and water health.

“The long-term effect of applying water-soluble (neonicotinoids) on soil and the water table is not known,” the association noted on its website.

It also wants scientists to study alternatives to neonic seed treatments, such as integrated pest management and the use of less toxic pesticides.

“We’re looking for these (chemicals) to be replaced, for sure,” Davidson said.

The EU ban is based on scientific studies suggesting that neonicotinoids hamper bees’ ability to forage, hinder colony reproduction and have a detrimental impact on bee brain functions.

The European decision follows a vote in March when EU member states rejected a neonic ban.

The European Commission will impose the restrictions despite the vote. According to Reuters, the twoyear ban will apply to all crops except winter cereals and crops that aren’t attractive to bees, beginning Dec. 1, 2013.

Peter Kevan, a University of Guelph entomologist who heads up Canpolin, a Canadian research network on pollinators, said in March that such a

ban is premature.

“There’s very little evidence to say that neonicotinoids, in a very general sense, in a broad scale sense, have been a major component in the demise of honeybees or any other pollinators, anywhere in the world.”

Kevan said neonicotinoid seed treatments have likely damaged bee colonies in specific incidents, such as the case in Ontario last spring. However, such incidents do not represent a systemic agricultural risk to bees, he said.

Corey Bacon, a beekeeper from Kinistino, Sask., said the situation in Western Canada is different from that in Ontario. Seed treatment of canola doesn’t present as much of a risk as does coating corn with insecticides. Corn seeds have an irregular shape so it’s more likely that insecticidal dust will blow off the seed during planting.

“Given the vast amount of canola seed … that is treated … so far I’m not sure if we’re seeing evidence of damage (to bees),” said Bacon, who is president of the Saskatchewan Beekeepers Association.

Regardless, more evidence suggests there is a link between neonics and bee health, said Bacon, who is worried about the long-term risk of insecticide accumulation in the soil.

“If there are issues with the neonics causing issues in the soil … then definitely the (beekeeping) industry is concerned about that.”

ARCHER DANIELS MIDLAND | PURCHASE PROPOSAL

GOV’T EVALUATION | COMPLIANCE

ADM purchase plan includes Canadian malting firm Ag Canada falls short on program evaluation

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada’s largest malting company could soon move from Australian ownership to American.

Archer Daniels Midland offered to buy Australia-based grain company GrainCorp April 26 in a deal valued at $3 billion.

Canada Malting Co. is also expected to fall under ADM control if the deal goes ahead.

GrainCorp acquired Canada Malting and other global malting assets in 2009 as part of a $714 million deal with United Malt Holdings.

Canada Malting is the largest malting company in Canada, producing

450,000 tonnes of malt per year.

It owns nine country elevators in Western Canada as well as malting plants in Calgary, Thunder Bay and Montreal.

It also owns container facilities, malting warehouses and transload facilities in Canada.

Canada Malting is one of a handful of companies that make up GrainCorp’s global malting operations.

GrainCorp Malt also operates in the United States as Great Western Malting Co., in Australia as Barret Burnston Malting, in the United Kingdom as Baird’s Malting and in Germany as Schill Malz.

The ADM-Graincorp agreement is subject to regulatory approvals in

China and Australia. It is also conditional upon there being no superior offer for GrainCorp from other companies.

Bob Chappell, Canada Malting’s senior director of grain for North America, declined comment on the deal. Jay Hamachek, a media contact for GrainCorp Malt in Vancouver, Washington, could not be reached for comment.

If the ADM deal is approved, GrainCorp shareholders will receive $13.20 Aus per share, comprising a cash payment of $12.20 per share plus dividends worth $1 per share.

Additional payments will be paid to shareholders if the deal is not closed

by Oct. 1, 2013.

CANADIAN FACILITIES THAT MAY BE AFFECTED Canada Malting facilities owned by GrainCorp are located in: • Alberta: Bawlf, Beiseker, Lyalta, Niobe

• Saskatchewan: Leross, Watrous, Wapella • Manitoba: Mariapolis, Norman

GrainCorp is one of the leading grain handlers in Australia, receiving 75 percent of the grain produced in eastern Australia.

It also handles 90 percent of bulk grain exports originating in eastern Australia.

Only 72 percent of the programs were evaluated for need and effectiveness

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Federal auditor general Michael Ferguson says Agriculture Canada has fallen short of a government directive that all direct program spending be evaluated for need and effectiveness.

Because five of its 18 direct grant and contribution programs have not been evaluated as required, “the department may have funded programs that were not as effective or efficient as planned,” Ferguson said in a report tabled in Parliament April 30.

In its response included in the report, Agriculture Canada promised to do better during the next fiveyear period of reporting.

“Going forward, the department will ensure that all future evaluations sufficiently demonstrate that they address the key issues of relevance and effectiveness,” it said.

Ferguson’s office targeted three departments for a performance audit: agriculture, human resources and skills development, and fisheries and oceans.

Agriculture Canada fared the worst at 72 percent compliance and human resources scored 76 percent. Fisheries and Oceans Canada had properly evaluated all nine of its programs, according to the auditor general’s report.

The agriculture department’s response notes that it also submitted several evaluation reports that did not meet the auditor’s standard of demonstrating relevance and effectiveness.

The review follows a 2009 edict from Treasury Board Canada, the federal government’s central agency overseeing departmental spending and performance, that all departments must evaluate the relevance and performance of all direct program spending every five years.

The next five-year evaluation period started April 1.

Agriculture Canada said it will work with Treasury Board to figure out how to meet its requirements to evaluate the continuing need for and effectiveness of its grant and contributions programs, which send hundreds of millions of dollars into the industry every year.

IMMIGRATION | NEW PRODUCTS

Immigration brings new opportunities Ethnic strategies needed | Canadian food markets poised to expand to cater to new populations and different palates

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

TORONTO — The changing face of Canada represents a $5 billion opportunity for enterprising producers.

Bernice Cheung, ethnic practice lead for Nielsen Canada, said studies show one in three people in Canada will be a visible minority by 2031.

She told the Salon international de l’alimentation (SIAL) food trade show here April 30 that the wave of new immigrants will be dominated by people from countries such as China, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka who could settle in Alberta and Quebec, currently the fastest growing provinces.

This switch from past immigration patterns, which included mainly Europeans, could spell business opportunities if included in business plans.

“Whether it’s a rain shower or a storm has to do with how well you prepare for it,” she said of dealing with the changing marketplace.

BERNICE CHEUNG NIELSEN CANADA

“The opportunity is in your hands to develop an ethnic strategy now.…

This is only the tip of the iceberg.”

She advised carefully considering new immigrants’ shopping habits.

“You have to understand their preferences and behaviours before you can win them over,” Cheung said.

Many will be well educated and better informed about buying choices, meaning product labelling will be important. They will be younger with more children and their households will include elders who are also involved in buying decisions.

For example, Cheung said Asians frequent mainstream and ethnic stores, buying items for the same day’s meal.

“Instead of one shopping trip on weekends, it might be a few trips,”

said Cheung.

That contrasts with North American shoppers who shop less frequently and stock their shelves.

Many newcomers view shopping as a family outing, seeking out sampling opportunities before buying and regarding organics as safer than tradi-

tionally grown products. They equate brand names with higher quality, but their lower incomes may drive them toward discounted items, she added.

Two Manitoba entrepreneurs who immigrated to Canada hope their food products hold appeal for newcomers.

Meshack Kusa, chief executive officer of Yomm Beverages, said many may already be familiar with the hibiscus found in his drinks, tea and dried flowers.

The three-year-old company imports the flower from Africa, Kusa’s homeland, and processes its products in Manitoba.

Yomm is currently sold in ethnic markets, including Asian, African and Indian stores in Winnipeg as well as health food stores.

“We are trying to step our toe in,” said Kusa, who would also like to eventually include prairie-grown fruit such as sour cherries, lingonberries and black currants.

Mila Maximets, president of Solberry sea buckthorn purees, said Canada’s standards of manufacturing appeal to the international crowd.

“Canada’s brand is appealing. It represents quality and high standards,” she said.

Maximets said her product can be incorporated into many foods. The purees are used by chefs and consumers in recipes and appeal to the health conscious because of their high anti-oxidant content.

She said the sea buckthorn varieties grown by Solberry’s Manitoba growers were developed at the research farm in Indian Head, Sask., and differ from varieties she grew up with in Russia. They are hardy shrubs that grow well in dryland climates and produce bigger, sweeter and thicker skinned fruit.

Bison is another prairie product that could appeal to newcomers, said Terry Kremeniuk, executive director of the Canadian Bison Association.

“Bison can be prepared in many ways to suit the palate of wherever these new Canadians are from,” he said.

“People want something unique and something different and bison is always an option.”

He said one strategy for appealing to ethnic markets has already been tried by his group: a cookbook featuring bison recipes with a Mediterranean twist.

Air rescue group celebrates one year in Sask.

Since its inception in 1985, the emergency transport system has completed more than 22,000 missions across the Prairies

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Carrie Derin tells a matter-of-fact story about the day that could have ended her life.

That she’s telling it all is a credit to the Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society, or STARS, she said.

“I don’t believe I would have made that trip from Moose Mountain (Provincial Park) to the city or be talking to you in the same capacity I am today,” the Regina woman said recently.

D e r i n , h e r hu s b a n d a n d t w o daughters were quadding in the southeast Saskatchewan park on Aug. 31, 2012.

“I was driving down a logging road,” she explained. “A beaver had fallen a tree and it was propped up and I didn’t see it. I ran into the tree and it came through the front of my quad.”

The tree pierced her abdomen and impaled her against the seat.

Her husband raced off to get help, leaving a conscious Derin with her two daughters, then 10 and 15.

“I do (remember),” she said of the time they spent waiting. “It seemed to take forever but the girls were great and they were my strength.”

A first responder from the park arrived with her husband, and then an ambulance team took her to a place where the STARS helicopter could land.

Derin was in critical condition, but still conscious, and the helicopter landed briefly at the Arcola Hospital for a two-minute stop to pick up blood for a transfusion. She was at Regina Hospital in about 40 minutes and spent a couple of weeks there recovering from a lacerated liver, damage to her diaphragm, shattered ribs and extensive blood loss.

“I was aware of STARS but never ever though I’d need them,” she said April 29 while marking the one-year anniversary of the helicopter ambulance’s service in the province.

ABOVE: STARS uses a helicopter to transport critically ill or injured patients to medical facilities. | STARS PHOTOS

LEFT: Carrie Derin said her life was saved because a STARS team was able to transport her to a Regina hospital from Moose Mountain Provincial Park after a serious ATV accident last summer.

STARS FACTS • The Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society, or STARS, is a not-forprofit organization that transports patients to hospitals by helicopter.

It has bases in Edmonton, Calgary, Grande Prairie, Saskatoon, Regina and Winnipeg.

• STAR-9 was launched in Regina on April 30, 2012 and STAR-11 opened in Saskatoon Oct. 15, 2012.

• In its first year in Saskatchewan, STARS has flown 370 missions and transported or cared for more than 250 patients.

Health minister Dustin Duncan was recently at a celebration at the Regina base when a call came in. He took to social media to express his admiration for how quickly the crew ju m p e d i nt o a c t i o n , c a l l i n g i t “incredibly impressive” and “overwhelming.”

Derin visited the Regina base in November to thank the crew who saved her life. She is considered a S TA R S V I P, o r v e r y i m p o r t a n t patient, and stopped at the Regina Legislative Building last week with another flight crew as part of the one-year celebration.

Derin said all Saskatchewan residents should be thankful STARS is operating in the province.

She counts herself lucky and said the effects of her accident are few.

“With the exception of a little bit of stiffness and a few missing ribs, I feel great,” she said.

• STARS relies on funding from the provincial government, corporate donations and fundraising to operate its two bases. The province contributes about $10.5 million per year to its operation. This year, the ministry of health is building a $3.4-million helipad on the roof of Regina General Hospital.

PARENTING | CHALLENGES

Elementary school teacher gives parents good report card on caring for children SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Q:

As a teacher in an elementary school, I would like to comment about the parents I see working with the children attending my classes. I think that most of those parents deserve a great big hug to reward them for being so attentive and caring for their children.

We hear so much these days about how parents need to be more in charge of their kids, how they spend far too much money on toys and new clothes for Christmas time and birthdays and how they are not as capable as parents were in the old days.

I beg to differ. I think that the parents I see coming in my classroom when we have special occasions are every bit as capable as their parents.

In fact, given computers, new teaching technologies and the ever present threat of sexual predators lurking in the community, I would say parents of today’s kids are more alert and aware than were those critical parents who raised them.

Isn’t it about time we celebrated the good work moms and dads are doing, and if they aren’t perfect, perhaps we could remember that none of us are perfect. Let’s face it: they are doing a good job.

A:

I think that parents of all eras have had their special challenges that made raising children difficult.

Let’s look at the parents in today’s home. Chances are one in two that the parents in the home are not both the natural parents of the children. The

divorce-separation rate is high, and with that comes unusual configurations about whose kids are whose.

There may be his, hers and ours in families, and yet everyone is trying their best to make something of a family for each of the children.

And let’s not forget that other natural parent. Weekend dads or weekend moms are spending whatever time they can with children who don’t live in the same house that they do. It is tough, but they do it with the same conviction they had when the family was together under one roof.

Whatever the arrangements, the common ground for many families is that they don’t have the support that they once did.

Grandparents were the great advisers not that long ago, supporting moms and dads when they struggled to properly raise their children. But parents and grandparents were generally within travelling distances from each other. Sometimes they were even in the

same farmyard, perhaps both living in houses on the home quarter.

That close proximity is a rarity in today’s world. People at times are living h u n d re d s i f n o t t h o u s a n d s o f kilometres away. The parents can’t pop over to Granny’s house when they are frustrated beyond tears and need simply to have a good cry. The extended family, the natural support system built into family structure, is not there.

Similar losses of support can be found within the community.

Go to almost any school today and just before the bell rings to end the day you will see countless numbers of moms and dads gathering to take their children home. The family is not just alone, without community support, but it is also vulnerable to the community, to the fear of sexual predators, to the caution that needs to be exercised crossing busy streets and roadways and to the desperate isolation children fear when dealing with playground bullies and other

interpersonal abusers.

Moms and dads make their children safe by being there for them.

The community is simply not protecting children as it once did.

So, having said all of that, I would like to thank you for your letter.

Of course our parents are not perfect. Their kids spend way too much time on computer games, are not as polite as kids once were and often eat too much junk food.

But overall, this generation will somehow see its way through the challenges, and despite what happens in the future, children these days, as did children in days of yore, can count on Mom and Dad being there for them.

Maybe all of us should take a moment to appreciate what parents do rather than commenting on what they do not do.

Exhibiting cattle | A former 4-H member teaches feeding and grooming techniques

BY SUSAN HODGES MARLOWE FREELANCE WRITER

MYRNAM, Alta. — Kirk Stierwalt has lived his life around the 4-H motto “learn to do by doing”.

Stierwalt lived by the words not only as he grew up but also later in life when he raised his children. Now, he’s passing it along to youth from all over the United States and Canada as he helps teach them how to prepare cattle for showing.

“My first beef showing was when I was seven years old but it didn’t count until I was nine when I was old enough to be a member of the 4-H club. There wasn’t much opportunity to learn showing techniques so as an adult we decided to start these clinics,” said Stierwalt, who owns and operates Stierwalt Cattle and Clinics and began teaching clinics in 1987.

Stierwalt of Leedy, Oklahoma, was teaching a clinic in Myrnam from April 19-21 and his clinics appear to have gone over well.

“We will certainly be having Kirk come again as he brings with him some core values that we really appreciate,” said organizer Leila Hickman.

“He teaches the youth about family values, he stresses the importance of safety and of course he is a leader in the industry when it comes to showing beef.”

Youth were invited from within the

region but invitations were also extended to anyone who wanted to come out for the weekend. About 60 youth came out for April 20 and about 40 4-H members signed up for the entire weekend.

Stierwalt said teaching youth helps keeps him stay updated on all the new products offered and skills.

“New things come out in technology, products and other stuff every year. So it almost takes care of itself because what we do here this year won’t be the same as next year just because there will be new clippers or blades or new techniques something like that by next year,” he said.

“The thing about it is, I come from the angle that I showed (cattle), but I am also a parent who had kids who showed, and so I know what they face as parents. I also judge a lot of shows so I am also dealing with a lot of kids and people’s emotions and so if you have never dealt with that from a parent standpoint, you have never seen how delicate some of the kids are.”

Dur ing the clinics, Stier walt explores the many different areas young cattle exhibitors must be aware of.

It all starts with the calf, he said.

“If it isn’t fed right, it really doesn’t matter what kind of clip job you put on it. You have to have the feeding done right and you have to have the grooming done right and you have to have management done right and

Q:

My sister has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, and the doctors said she will need chemotherapy as well as surgery because it is an aggressive type. Are there any breakthrough new treatments for breast cancer? Are there any anti-cancer drugs that have less side-effects than the old toxic ones?

A:

“I can save them a lot of trial and error because we live and breathe this every day. We see what works and what doesn’t so we are trying to get people stepped off in the right direction.”

Stierwalt said he likes to return to communities each year to see the

progress the participants have made.

“It is fun for me to be a small part of seeing the kids reach their goals.

What they are worried about this year won’t be what they are concerned about next year because the more they come to these clinics, the more they learn and get further into the details of really showing well.”

JUSTICE | CRIMINAL DEFENCE

Defence lawyer presents case, jury decides guilt A PRAIRIE PRACTICE

GAIL WARTMAN, B.A., J.D.

L

awyers who practice criminal defence are often asked how they can defend criminals in good conscience.

While this is certainly a valid question, it is often predicated on the assumption that when criminal defence lawyers argue for a client’s acquittal, or not guilty verdict, they are presenting their personal belief that the accused is innocent.

This is a misconception that requires an explanation of legal principles.

In Canada, our criminal justice system is designed to protect the public from arbitrary imprisonment and wrongful convictions.

It is a major difference from many other systems around the world, where governments and dictators can throw people in jail without ade-

In Canada, the accused is entitled to a defence and fair trial. | FILE PHOTO quate proof or a fair trial.

Under our Charter of Rights and Freedoms, every person has the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty according to law in a fair and public hearing. His or her guilt must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

The criminal law requirement of proof beyond a reasonable doubt is a high standard, akin to certainty and distinct from the balance of probabilities or “more likely than not” standard of proof used in civil trials.

Reasonable doubt has been defined as doubt that causes an honest juror, after considering all of the circumstances, to be unable to say, “I am morally certain of his guilt.”

Therefore, when an accused is found not guilty, it simply means that the judge or jury was not certain of

his guilt. The right to the presumption of innocence therefore remains.

The onus of proving the accused’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt rests with the crown. In other words, an accused is not required to prove his or her innocence. The crown must prove the accused’s guilt, and until that guilt is proven, he is presumed innocent. The accused is entitled to all of the benefits of the rule of law, which includes the right to a defence and a fair trial.

The reasonable doubt standard is meant to balance the dual interests of holding guilty parties accountable and the prevention of convicting those who are innocent.

The high standard of proof placed on the crown means we are balanced toward the latter interest, and rightly so. Even under the current balance, that unfortunate situation sometimes occurs. David Milgaard is one example.

Answering the original question and understanding the criminal defence lawyer’s role becomes easier with these principles as a backdrop.

It is not the lawyer’s role to decide the guilt of the accused: that is left to the judge or jury. The lawyer is the accused’s agent, and the role is to advocate zealously on the accused’s

behalf to the fullest extent allowed under the law, no matter how heinous the crime or unsavoury the offender, until his guilt is proven to the required standard. The right to this defence is available to everyone in Canada.

Lawyers’ arguments are not based on personal opinion, but rather a belief in the underlying principles of our criminal justice system and an awareness of the danger that would result if we decided to infringe on those rights to satisfy the media or the public, who sometimes demand an immediate judgment.

As a society, we afford rights to accused persons, no matter how unsavoury the offender or offences, not to protect criminals, but to protect society as a whole. People who suddenly find themselves or a family member thrown into the criminal justice system often quickly realize the importance of those rights.

There are a variety of new anticancer drugs that your sister should discuss with her oncologist.

However, apart from the anti-estrogen type such as Tamoxifen, most give the patient unpleasant sideeffects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hair loss and a runny nose.

Sometimes the side-effects can be serious and include damage to the heart muscle or nerves. I know of one patient who also developed Parkinson’s disease following chemotherapy for breast cancer. I am not sure if that was a coincidence, but she was quite young.

Your sister needs to ask questions such as, “how much longer can you live with drug A compared to drug B?” “What is the incidence of toxic side-effects of drug A or drug B?” Professor Ian F. Tannock and his colleagues at the Ontario Cancer Institute recently published a paper in the Annals of Oncology in which they analyzed the results of a number of large scale drug trials as reported in medical journals. They discovered that in many cases, researchers ignored results that were unfavourable. Tannock’s team found that scientists failed to achieve the primary endpoint in one-third of all trials, and reports focused on other, less important outcomes. Even when the trial met the primary goal, sideeffects and toxicity of the experimental drugs were downplayed.

“These reports were biased and used spin in attempts to conceal that bias,” the team said in its paper.

They concluded that new anticancer drugs that increased life expectancy in cancer patients might also increase the amount of illness from side-effects and even the risk of death from the treatments.

The person’s underlying health was an issue. Those who were in good shape before starting the medications usually had a better outcome. Of course, researchers tend to prefer those not suffering from other chronic conditions when choosing patients for an experimental drug trial.

On a more positive note, breast cancer patients with a wide circle of friends and relatives have been found to be 38 percent less likely to die within a decade of being diagnosed than those who only have a small social network.

ON THE FARM | EGGS

Happy birds produce healthy eggs, profit Housing upgrades | Producer upgrades cages and lighting and uses vegetarian feed

BY ANNE COTE FREELANCE WRITER

ROSENORT, Man. — There are a lot of ruffled feathers in Kurt Siemens’ barn near Rosenort.

Siemens has 20,000 laying hens in the barn, and they’re more than a little curious when a visitor shows up, rustling around in their cages trying to get a closer look at what’s going on.

“If they’re curious and take the time to look, it means they’re content,” Siemens said.

“You can see the birds are calm on both sides of the aisle, in the conventional cages and in the enriched cage.”

It also means they don’t perceive danger to their food supply or environment.

Siemens is a third generation egg producer, but the 80 acre farm he and his wife, Tami, run near Rosenort isn’t the original family farmstead.

His parents owned a farm a few kilometres up the road but sold it to move to another location in Sanford, Man. His mother, Laura, moved back to the Rosenort area in 1983 after his father, Pete, died, and continued producing eggs with her son’s help.

Siemens bought the egg farm from her in 1993.

At the time, none of his eight sib-

lings were interested in continuing the family business. His sister is now involved in the egg industry, but the others work in other vocations.

Maintaining a viable egg production facility requires sound financial planning, which is where Tami comes in.

“I’m a corporate partner and participate in making the financial decisions,” she said.

She also runs her own home design business, Nuroom Ideas. She said it gives her flexible hours so she can participate in business decisions and take care of the family.

Kurt attended a presentation at the University of Manitoba a few years ago that introduced him to enriched cages for laying hens.

He thought the idea had merit and installed one row of enriched caging when it was time to replace some of his aging cages.

The upgrade cost $25,000 more than conventional caging and was more of a challenge than he had planned.

He discovered the new system would require alterations to his barn, which was already equipped with a three tier automatic feeding system, a mechanized but manually operated manure removal conveyor system and an egg collecting system.

“I didn’t think it was going to fit in

that space,” Tami said.

Kurt persevered and chipped out enough concrete until there was room for the new 25 hen enriched cage, complete with a private nesting area, perches and claw sharpening post Kurt, a director of Manitoba Egg Farmers and Egg Farmers of Manitoba, said it’s worth the effort and cost to keep the barn up to date.

“First it’s food safety,” he said.

After that it’s important to adapt to new practices that support the birds’ health and welfare.

As well, keeping the cages and equipment up to date keeps the farm profitable and ensures it will be up to date if the Siemens’ 17-yearold son, Harley, decides to take over the family farm when he finishes school. If Harley decides to pursue another career, the upgrades will ensure the egg production facility is salable.

The Siemens’ daughter, Madisson, is finishing a bachelor of arts degree at the University of Manitoba before entering the education faculty. She said she would prefer a teaching job close to home, but her main goal is to teach in a rural school.

Eyob, 10, plays hockey and electronic games when he’s not following his father out to the workshop.

Kurt said his next upgrade will be a

new stainless steel egg packing machine to pack the Vita Original eggs he’s produced for the past three years.

He has earned the Vita Original label by ensuring his birds are fed an all vegetarian feed. The eggs have a dark coloured yolk but they’re not omega 3 eggs, he said.

Feed is the major cost on the Siemens farm, and Kurt is always experimenting with new feed mixes. He has been conducting feed tests for two decades, even while his mother owned the farm.

One silo attached to the barn always contains a different feed mix and is delivered to one tier of cages so that he can monitor egg production or determine if the mix affects mortality or can potentially lower feed costs.

Kurt is also testing LED lighting.

One part of one row of cages is now illuminated with LED bulbs instead of the usual incandescent bulbs.

The Siemens’ immediate concern this spring is keeping the farm safe during a flood.

The Manitoba flood outlook is moderate to heavy, but Kurt isn’t taking any chances.

The dike that was protecting the house failed in 1997 and the workshop and family home were inundated with 457 millimetres of flood

NOT ALL EGGS ARE EQUAL • Countryside Farms is located in Steinbach, Man. • It is a federally inspected plant with kosher and organic certification.

• The company is supplied by more than 100 Manitoba egg producers.

• It markets eggs from more than 800,000 hens, including: • Vita Eggs Omega 3 Organic • Vita Eggs Omega 3 • Vita Eggs Free Run • Vita Eggs 100% Vegetarian Diet • Countryside Farms Brown Eggs • Countryside Farms Regular Eggs • Gold Egg products water. Roads to the farm were closed for weeks.

The chicken barn was dry in 1997 and 2011, but Kurt bought a fishing boat so he could travel daily to check on the flock.

Each of the two silos attached to the barn holds 26 tonnes of feed. As well, two smaller silos in the yard can hold a total of 30 tonnes and two more can together hold 75 tonnes.

“I can feed the chickens for six to eight weeks,” Kurt said.

TEA TIME | BEVERAGES AND SNACKS

Beverages and finger food sure to please on Mother’s Day TEAM RESOURCES

ream tea, high tea and afternoon tea — they all describe formal tea served with dainty sandwiches and sweets.

Cream tea is served in Devon and Cornwall, England, and there is an ongoing debate whether the clotted cream or the strawberry jam is put on the scone first.

High tea means that tea is taken in the dining room and therefore served on high tables.

Tea enjoyed in the garden is called afternoon tea and is on low tables.

In this modern era, we would be as likely to serve green, herbal, chai or Moroccan mint tea. Sandwiches are now mini pitas or crostini, and dainties might be fruit skewers or mini phyllo tarts.

MIXED NUT PHYLLO TARTS This is less work than making your own pastry and lighter than purchased unbaked pastry shells. Use any mix of unsalted nuts you have on hand. When working with phyllo pastry, I brush melted butter on the counter so the first sheet doesn’t move around.

1 c. maple syrup 250 mL 2 eggs, lightly beaten 2 tbsp. melted butter, 30 mL cooled 1 tsp. vanilla extract 5 mL 1 c. coarsely chopped 250 mL mixed unsalted nuts 1 pkg. phyllo dough, thawed 1/2 c. melted butter 125 mL Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C). In a medium bowl, combine maple syrup, eggs, melted butter and vanilla extract, mixing well. Stir in nuts. Set aside.

Lay out one sheet of phyllo pastry on the counter and brush with melted butter. Set another sheet over the first and brush with melted butter. Repeat until five sheets of phyllo are layered.

Cut into three inch (7.5 cm) squares.

Lightly spray a mini muffin pan with oil. Press phyllo squares carefully into the pan. Fill with maple nut filling.

Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until filling is bubbling and shells are golden. Cool in the pan for a minute or two and then remove and cool on rack. Makes about 48 tarts.

CEVICHE DE CAMARON 1/2 c. chopped onion 125 mL 6 c. water 1.5 L 3/4 c. fresh lime juice, 185 mL divided 1 lb. medium shrimp .45 kg 1 English cucumber 1/2 c. ketchup 125 mL 1/3 c. chopped fresh 80 mL cilantro 2 tbsp. Mexican hot sauce 60 mL (such as Tamazula) 1 tbsp. olive oil 15 mL 1/4 tsp. salt 1 mL Place chopped onion in a colander and rinse with cold water. Drain.

Peel cucumber if you wish and cut into 1 1/2 inch (3.5 cm) pieces. Scoop

WHAT IS CLOTTED CREAM?

out some seeds to form a little cup.

Bring water and 1/4 cup (60 mL) lime juice to a boil in a Dutch oven.

Add shrimp; cook three minutes or until done. Drain and rinse with cold water; peel shrimp. Coarsely chop if you wish to use this as a dip. Combine shrimp and 1/2 cup (125 mL) juice in a large bowl; cover and chill one hour.

Stir in onion and remaining ingredients. Fill cucumber cups and chill until ready to serve. Ceviche can also be served with saltine crackers.

• Clotted cream is made by allowing unpasteurized cow’s milk to sit for 12 to 24 hours in shallow pans. It is slow heated and then left to cool. The cream that rises to the surface clots and is skimmed off to be served with scones, berries, or desserts. It has up to 60 percent butterfat.

MOROCCAN MINT TEA 1 tbsp. loose Chinese 15 mL gunpowder green tea 5 c. boiling water 1.25 L 3 to 4 tbsp. sugar 45 – 60 mL 1 large bunch fresh mint Put tea in teapot and pour in one cup (250 mL) boiling water. Then swirl gently to warm pot and rinse tea.

Strain out and discard water, reserving tea leaves in pot.

Add remaining four cups (1 L) boiling water to tea and let steep two minutes. Stir in sugar and mint sprigs and steep about four minutes more. Serve in small heatproof glasses.

CHAI 3 green cardamom pods, lightly cracked open with the back of a spoon 6 whole cloves 1/4 tsp. fennel seeds 1 mL 1/2 cinnamon stick 1/4 in. slice of fresh ginger 1.5 cm 5 black peppercorns 1 bay leaf 1 tbsp. loose black tea leaves 15 mL 4 c. water 1L 1/2 c. half and half cream 125 mL 1 to 2 tbsp. light brown 15 to 30 mL sugar, cane sugar or honey, according to taste

•

TOP, CLOCKWISE: Chai, Moroccan mint tea, mini pitas with curried egg salad, soft cheese stuffed dates and mixed nut phyllo tarts.

Place spices and herbs in a medium size saucepan. Add water and bring to a boil. Boil for five minutes. Remove from the heat and steep for 10 minutes.

Add tea leaves and return to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer on medium for five minutes. Add cream and sugar.

Stir for about a minute, over low heat, until steaming. Strain and pour into a teapot or cups. This can be made ahead and reheated. It will keep several days in the refrigerator. Makes two to three servings.

SAVORY AND SWEET APPETIZER IDEAS • Steak au poivre: Crust a tender boneless beef steak with Montreal

steak spice. Sear on all sides and cook to medium rare. Remove from pan and let rest 10 minutes. Slice thinly and set aside. Spread thinly sliced and toasted baguette with an herb cream cheese. Top with slice of steak and garnish with fresh chopped herbs.

• Curried egg salad: Finely chop hard boiled eggs. Mix with diced celery, red onion, cilantro, Dijon mustard, lime juice, curry powder and mayonnaise. Make sandwiches with very fresh bread, trim crusts and cut into small rectangles or use mini pita.

• Shrimp salad: Mix one cup (250 mL) cooked small shrimp, three tbsp. (45 mL) mayonnaise, one tsp.(5 mL) lemon zest, one tsp. (5m L) lemon

•

• • • • •

• •

juice, one tsp.(5 mL) each chopped chives, capers, parsley. Put a tablespoon (15 mL) in a trimmed endive leaf.

Smoked salmon: Spread fresh white or pumpernickel bread with softened cream cheese. Top with thin slice of smoked salmon and then thinly sliced cucumbers. Serve open faced or with two pieces of bread. Trim crusts and cut into small rectangles or triangles.

Baby potatoes: Fully cook the potatoes, half them and scoop out some flesh. Fill with Greek yogurt and top with herbs or caviar.

Use herb flavoured cream cheeses to save time.

Put sandwich fillings in phyllo cups and mini pitas or on crackers.

Serve a shooter of cold tomato soup or gazpacho with a crostini on top.

Berry and cheese skewers.

Mejdool dates, pits removed, stuffed with soft cheese such as chevre.

Candied orange peel, dipped in dark chocolate if desired.

Strawberries stuffed with slightly sweetened mascarpone cheese.

University of Saskatchewan Sled Dogs ¼ Scale Tractor Team

Sled Dogs first year at the ASABE competition, 2002.

Sled Dogs, ASABE Competition 2012 6th place overall. Voted best appearance. 2nd place maneuverability.

The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) International Quarter Scale Tractor Student Design Competition goal is for students to construct a pulling unit from the ground up. Since 2002, The University of Saskatchewan Sled Dogs ¼ Scale Tractor Team have done just that; designed and constructed a fully functioning pulling unit to compete in the ASABE Student Design Competition in Peoria, Illinois. In the past, the A-team constructed a new unit based of last year’s performance, new rule modifications

and current testing while the X-team modified the previous year’s tractor to return to the competition. 2013 brings a new dimension to The Sled Dogs as they have two A-teams. The A1-team is constructing a new unit based the 2013 rules update using a similar platform as the 2012 unit while the A2-team is constructing a new model, coined the ‘over-seas’ unit. The A2 unit will be a functional pulling unit that is efficient and economical for Third World markets. The teams are excited with this new venture and look forward to going head to head against each other and other

Universities throughout Canada and the United States at the competition in Peoria, IL, May 30-June 2, 2013.

Throughout the school year prior to the competition, students on the teams have the opportunity to apply concepts learned in the classroom to a real world setting. The teams compete in four main categories: pulling performance, team presentation, design judging, and written design report. As a member of The Sled Dogs, students gain experience through technical presentations, the design process, cost analysis, and of course a hands on understanding

of the design and manufacturing processes.

The Sled Dogs team is comprised of students from several disciplines within the College of Engineering, including Biological, Mechanical, and Electrical as well as a student from the College of Agriculture and Bioresources. The program at the University of Saskatchewan allows students in their final year credit as a design elective. Talk about student base/how A1 can take it for credit and how anyone can be on the team – ‘we even have an Agro on the team!’

ENERGY | PIPELINE

Ontario landowners complain about pipeline Enbridge applies to move oilsands bitumen | Landowners say bitumen poses more of a risk than does light crude oil

BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

SARNIA, Ont. — Rural Canada has been subsidizing the nation’s oil industry by shouldering the risk of transporting crude by pipeline, landowner organizations say.

They now say that burden is about to become heavier.

Enbridge Inc. is applying to the National Energy Board for approval to ship oilsands bitumen in Line 9, a pipeline that stretches from Sarnia to Toronto to Montreal.

From there it can be piped to the East Coast and then shipped to refineries on the United States coast of the Gulf of Mexico, said Margaret Vance, president of the Ontario Pipeline Landowners’ Association.

“They’re going to get it out of there one way or another. I don’t think they care who it gets sold to, as long as it gets sold,” the Oxford County farmer said.

Enbridge says the intent is to move mainly light crude from Western Canada and the U.S., although heavy

crude and bitumen may also be transported.

Its application to the NEB also addresses the reversal of the line.

Line 9 has been used for several years to transport imported petroleum west to Sarnia.

Vance remains skeptical.

Bitumen is diluted with additives to allow it to flow. The additives evaporate if there’s a breach in the pipeline, leaving a thick gooey mess behind that will sink in water.

That’s what happened in 2010 when 800,000 gallons leaked from an

Enbridge pipeline at a creek that leads to the 286-kilometre Kalamazoo River in Michigan.

Vance said she understands that Line 9, which was built around 1975, is of similar design to the Michigan pipeline. It crosses several Ontario rivers that empty into Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.

The pipeline is wrapped with polyethylene tape, which Dave Core of the Canadian Association of Energy and Pipeline Landowner Associations (CAEPLA) said is a concern because water can be trapped

beneath the tape where it lifts.

Enbridge has been evaluating the pipeline, running remote sensing devices within its length.

The line is excavated for what Enbridge describes as integrity digs when there are potential concerns.

Core calls them repairs and said there have been about 1,200 along Line 9. Vance said these can involve placing a sleeve around compromised sections.

Enbridge, in a report provided by CAEPLA, said diluted bitumen, or dilbit, is no more corrosive than regular crude.

Core agreed but said there are other concerns. Hard particles in dilbit such as sand can cause additional wear, and dilbit needs to be shipped at a higher pressure.

“In my opinion, that pipeline should be taken up and replaced if we’re going to ship dilbit.”

Core said pipeline companies have little incentive to negotiate with landowners in good faith because they have the power through the NEB to grant right-of-entry to carry out their business. As well, government regulations have overridden original easement agreements that sometimes provided a modicum of protection.

He said landowners lose control of their land yet bear most of the risk because title of the land remains in their name.

“Pipeline companies are government-sponsored corporations because they can expropriate land with government sanction and consequently transfer wealth from private landowners to private companies,” Core said.

CANARYSEED | NOVEL FOOD

Group hopes to tout canaryseed health benefits Gluten-free, high protein | Canaryseed commission seeks approval from Health Canada to call canaryseed a novel food

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Consumers looking for an alternative to wheat and other traditional cereal grains might find it in canaryseed grown in Western Canada.

An analysis conducted as part of the Saskatchewan Canaryseed Development Commission’s submission to have the crop approved for human consumption revealed that the seed is gluten free.

Officials hope it will help them market the hairless canaryseed as an ingredient in gluten-free bread, flour and cereals or as a substitute for sesame seeds, which are considered a priority allergen.

“We’re really the ones, I’d honestly say, that are probably breaking ground on really doing the extensive testing,” said commission chair Glenn Byrnes.

The commission launched the initiative more than four years ago and has compiled nutritional, toxicology and allergen profiles of canaryseed.

The timeline for approval is unclear, but the group submitted its proposal to Health Canada for approval as a novel food in March.

“It’s very similar to other cereal grains,” said Carol Ann Patterson of Pathfinders Research and Management, who worked with the commission.

“Compared to all of the other gluten-free grains that are on the market place, it will provide a higher percentage of protein. The protein level is almost similar to what you get in pulses, which is really good.”

Patterson said work is also underway to get approval in the United States, while other efforts have tested canaryseed as a baking ingredient with promising results.

Byrnes said the development of hairless varieties with yellow seeds at the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre will hopefully make canaryseed more palatable for consumers.

The seed is typically sold as bird food in international markets.

“Before you can really do anything too much in (market development), you have to get that novel food status and because it’s also a gluten-free product, which is very important, there’s a lot of protocols and things that have to be met,” said Byrnes.

“But the potential is certainly there for that whole side of it.”

To pursue this market, Byrnes said producers will have to guard against cross-contamination with traditional grains and meet a high standard for production to maintain its glutenfree claim.

“It’s like in the registered seed busi-

BRAZIL | ILLEGAL CATTLE

Fines sought for cattle raised in Amazon BRASILIA, Brazil (Reuters) — Brazilian prosecutors are seeking to fine 26 beef producers $282 million for buying cattle raised in illegally deforested Amazon areas or on indigenous reservations.

The list from the federal prosecution service included one major Brazilian food producer, Brasil Foods, which faces fines of $8.9 million over accusations that it bought 1,762 cattle reared on illegally cleared land in Mato Grosso state.

About half those alleged purchases were made by Brasil Foods’ Sadia unit. The alleged purchases are a small number compared to the nearly 11 million cattle and hogs that Brasil Foods slaughters each year.

Prosecutors calculated the fines for each company based on the number of animals raised in illegal conditions that they are alleged to have bought. Prosecutors say the 26 companies bought 55,699 such cattle between January and September 2012.

Brasil Foods spokesperson Kristhian Kaminski said the company had not received official notification of legal proceedings and therefore could not comment.

Several other companies faced fines for buying cattle raised with the use of slave labour, prosecutors said.

The cases will go before judges in the states of Mato Grosso, Amazonas and Rondonia, where the offences are alleged to have taken place.

“We want these companies to stop buying in these areas and in this way, avert further deforestation,” said Mato Grosso prosecutor Rodrigo Timoteo da Costa e Silva.

Prosecutors said the offences were detected during monitoring of the companies’ activities after all 26 refused to sign an accord under which they would have had to agree to avoid the practices for which they may now be fined.

DOGS | NUTRITION

Project helps dog owners understand pet food Fables of Fido’s Food | Student study discovers misconceptions about the role of animal byproducts in dog food

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Reanne Forshner feeds kibble to her German shepherd named Odie.

That hasn’t changed following completion of a study she and two other University of Alberta students recently conducted on dog owner awareness of pet food and nutrition.

Called Fables of Fido’s Food, the study project was conducted through the university’s Capstone program in the agriculture, life and environmental sciences faculty, which students take at the end of their degree programs.

Forshner said their survey of dog owners across Canada yielded interesting data.

“Our results have shown that they actually don’t have a huge understanding of what is in their pet food and why,” she said.

“With our survey that we sent out, we did find that the majority of people are within the ‘have a little knowledge’ category.”

Fact sheets and pamphlets that dispel pet food myths and guide consumers to reliable information have been prepared and will soon be posted on the Alberta Agriculture website.

They will also include information on how to interpret pet food labels.

Among the common myths discovered by Forshner and her fellow students is a mistaken belief that animal byproducts in dog food are unhealthy.

“People think that animal byproducts are not a good source of nutrition for dogs, and that’s because a lot of people think that it contains the heads and hoofs and feathers and things like that,” Forshner said.

It doesn’t.

She said the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO)

DOGS AND DOG FOOD • There were slightly more than five million dogs in Canada in 2011.

• About 35 percent of Canadian homes have a dog.

• The pet food market in Canada was valued at $1.7 billion in 2011. Dog food alone had a value of $969 million.

• Dog food has consistently had the highest retail sales relative to cat and other pet food.

• Dry dog food has the highest market share and reached a value of $625.7 million in 2011.

• More than 322,000 tonnes of pet foot are sold annually in Canada.

Source: Agriculture Canada; Pet Food Association of Canada

regulates pet food, and any company seeking certification from it must abide by certain rules.

One of those rules is that animal byproducts can include organs and intestines but not hair, horns, teeth, hoofs and stomach digesta from the food source animals.

Forshner said animal byproducts are a good source of nutrition for dogs.

It’s also an economical choice because there is no competition for them from processors of human food.

Another fable involves the benefits of raw food diets for dogs, which Forshner said continues to be controversial.

Some dog owners say feeding only raw food to their pets is more natural and contributes to a shinier coat, healthier teeth and disease prevention.

On the other hand, there is no regulation on raw food, which can lead to bacterial contamination in food that dogs can shed in their stool, compromising the health of their owners and family members.

Contrary to myths, pet food containing animal byproducts can provide nutrition that can help dogs live healthy, happy lives. | FILE PHOTO The value of corn and other grains in dog food is yet another fable the students explored. Some dog owners think grain is not well digested by dogs and question its feed value.

“The thing with corn is that it’s a good carbohydrate source because the animal can easily absorb the glucose and utilize it as energy.”

Forshner said her main advice to

dog owners as a result of the study is to find reliable sources of information when making decisions.

“I would say definitely do your own research and find out your own truth, without just believing what you see on the TV and on the internet. It’s hard to do. Veterinarians are a good source.”

Margurite Thiessen, value chain

specialist with Alberta Agriculture, said the Fables of Fido’s Food project came from an effort to better connect veterinarians with pet food processors and foster collaboration.

From that came an effort to communicate information to veterinary students and those in related fields.

“It’s amazing what they came up with,” said Thiessen.

EGGS | CONSUMPTION

B.C. most concerned about hen housing Humane society credits greater consumer awareness into traditional housing for laying hens

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

British Columbia leads the country in organic, free range and free run egg consumption.

Twenty-two to 30 percent of eggs consumed in the province come from cage free hens, compared to five percent in the rest of the country.

“Our specialty egg (category) is the highest in Canada, in terms of the free range, free run and organic because our consumers ask for it,” said B.C. Egg Marketing Board spokesperson Megan Ward.

“Our producers provide whatever the consumer is asking for.”

Twenty-two percent of eggs consumed in B.C. were specialty eggs last year, including organic, free range and free run.

However, consumption rates may be even higher because B.C. residents buy a lot of their eggs at farmers markets or direct from the farm, which are excluded from retail sales data.

“Certainly on Vancouver Island, you can’t drive around Victoria without seeing a sign somewhere saying cage free or free range eggs for sale,” said Leanne McConnachie, farm animal programs director for the Vancouver Humane Society.

She estimated that cage free egg consumption could be as high as 30 percent in B.C. McConnachie said enhanced consumer awareness and the environmental ethic in B.C . partly explain why the province leads Canada and North America in cage free egg production, but the province’s quota system is the most significant reason.

She said most of Canada’s consumer egg data is based on supermarket sales receipts, and the percentage of cage free eggs in those sales often determines provincial allocations of quota to cage free eggs.

However, the market research doesn’t account for egg sales from independent grocers, specialty stores and farmers markets, which is a significant portion of the market in B.C. Consequently, the Vancouver Humane Society lobbied for changes to the quota allocation because it felt the B.C. Egg Marketing Board underestimated demand for cage free eggs.

The B.C. Farm Industry Review Board agreed in 2010, and the marketing board drastically increased its quota allocation for specialty eggs.

As well, egg farmers converted battery cage operations to cage free egg farms to satisfy demand.

McConnachie said the demand for humanely produced eggs has always been higher in B.C. because consumers are more aware of egg production methods.

The humane society has run a cage free campaign for more than a decade, and farms are located close to communities.

“I think it’s out in front of people a little more here,” she said.

The World Society for the Protection of Animals hopes public aware-

22% OF EGGS PRODUCED IN BRITISH COLUMBIA LAST YEAR CAME FROM CAGE FREE FARMS FILE PHOTO

ness of how eggs are produced will convince Canadians in other provinces to follow B.C.’s lead.

In late April, the WSPA released results of a survey showing that North Americans are confused about egg production methods. Egg buyers assume 70 percent of laying hens are kept in cages, when in reality it is closer to 95 percent.

“When you ask questions like, where do you think the eggs come from that you’re buying, most people are overly optimistic. They tend to say … its cage free, or free run,” said Jayson Lusk, an Oklahoma State University agricultural economics professor who analyzed the survey data for the WSPA. “I’ve sat in rooms with randomly recruited consumers.… Most people were woefully unaware (of egg production methods).”

Consumer ignorance represents an opportunity for cage free advocates.

The public is likely to choose cage free if it is informed about egg production practices, Lusk said.

He said the market share for cage free eggs could hit 62 percent if 75 percent of egg buyers understood the living conditions of hens in cages, he added.

His analysis is based on data from Oakland and San Francisco, following a 2008 proposition to ban battery cages in California. He said more consumers were aware of the issue following a blitz of television ads promoting and condemning the ban and subsequent retail sales data showed that more egg buyers chose cage free.

McConnachie said consumer knowledge of the issue in B.C. has reached the point where cage free may soon represent half of the egg market.

“Our goal has always been that by 2015 we might see as much as 50 percent cage free in British Columbia.”

ENVIRONMENT | GREENHOUSE GASES

Climate change patterns prove unpredictable Long-term concerns remain | Unexpected slowdown in global warming puzzles scientists and policy makers OSLO, Norway (Reuters) — Scientists are struggling to explain a slowdown in climate change that has exposed gaps in their understanding and defies a rise in global greenhouse gas emissions.

Most climate models, which often focused on century-long trends, failed to predict that the temperature rise would slow starting around 2000.

Scientists are now intent on figuring out the causes and determining whether the respite will be brief or a more lasting phenomenon.

Getting this right is essential for government and business as they make short- and long-term plans for industries as diverse as energy, construction, agriculture and insurance.

Many scientists say they expect a revival of warming in coming years.

There are several theories for the pause: • Water at the oceans’ surface is cooler than expected because deep oceans have taken up more heat.

• Clouds and industrial pollution in Asia are blocking the sun.

• Greenhouse gases trap less heat than previously believed.

• An observed decline in heat-trapping water vapour in the high atmosphere, for unknown reasons.

• A combination of factors or some as yet unknown natural variations.

Weak economic growth and the pause in warming is undermining governments’ willingness to make a rapid billion-dollar shift from fossil fuel. Almost 200 governments have agreed to work out a plan by the end of 2015 to combat global warming.

“The climate system is not quite so simple as people thought,” said Bjorn Lomborg, a Danish statistician and author of The Skeptical Environmentalist, who estimates that moderate warming will benefit crop growth and human health.

An unexplained slowdown in climate change may mean a temporary respite for the world’s glaciers, but scientists aren’t convinced the trend will last. | FILE PHOTO Some experts say their trust in climate science has declined because of the many uncertainties. The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change had to correct a 2007 report that exaggerated the pace of melt of the Himalayan glaciers and wrongly said they could all vanish by 2035.

“My own confidence in the data has gone down in the past five years,” said Richard Tol, an expert in climate change and professor of economics at the University of Sussex in England.

Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius first showed in the 1890s how manmade carbon dioxide traps heat in

the atmosphere. Many of the exact effects are still unknown.

Greenhouse gas emissions have hit repeated record highs in most of the decade to 2010, with annual growth of three percent. The increase was partly powered by rises in China and India. World emissions were 75 percent higher in 2010 than in 1970, UN data show.

A rapid rise in global temperatures in the 1980s and 1990s, when clean air laws in developed nations cut pollution and strengthened sunshine at the Earth’s surface, made for a compelling argument that human emissions were to blame.

The IPCC will seek to explain the

current pause in a three-part report that will serve as the main scientific road map for governments as they shift from fossil fuels toward renewable energy such as solar or wind power.

Panel chair Rajendra Pachauri said temperature records since 1850 “show there are fluctuations. They are 10, 15 years in duration, but the trend is unmistakable.”

The IPCC has consistently said that fluctuations in the weather, perhaps caused by variations in sunspots or a La Nina cooling of the Pacific, can mask warming trends. As well, the panel has never predicted a year-byyear rise in temperatures.

Experts say short-term climate forecasts are vital to help governments, insurers and energy companies plan.

For example, governments will find little point in reinforcing road bridges over rivers if a prediction of more floods by 2100 doesn’t apply to the 2020s.

A section of a draft IPCC report that looks at short-term trends said temperatures are likely to be 0.4 to 1 C warmer from 2016 to 2035 than in the two decades preceding 2005.

Rain and snow may increase in areas that already have high precipitation and decline in areas with scarcity, it added.

Pachauri said climate change can have counter-intuitive effects, such as more snowfall in winter, which some people find hard to accept as side-effects of a warming trend.

An IPCC report last year said warmer air can absorb more moisture, leading to heavier snowfall in some areas.

A recent study by Dutch experts sought to explain why there is now more sea ice in winter. It concluded that melted ice from Antarctica was refreezing on the ocean surface because fresh water freezes more easily than dense salt water.

Some experts challenged the findings.

“The hypothesis is plausible. I just don’t believe the study proves it to be true,” said Paul Holland, an ice expert at the British Antarctic Survey.

However, opinion polls show that concern about climate change is rising in some nations. Extreme events, such as Superstorm Sandy that hit the U.S. east coast last year, may be the cause.

A record heat wave in Australia this summer forced weather forecasters to add a new dark magenta colour to the map for temperatures up to 54 C.

WORLD IN BRIEF MARKETS

Russian, Ukraine wheat hits EU markets HAMBURG, Germany/PARIS, France (Reuters) — The unexpected reappearance of cut-price Russian and Ukrainian wheat in global export markets could reduce sales of rival European Union grain.

Russia and Ukraine, major rivals to EU wheat in key Middle Eastern markets, had been virtually absent from wheat export markets this year after poor 2012 crops and large early season sales cut their export supplies.

But both countries have returned to the export markets in April.

Analysts believe Russia is likely to export 250,000 to 500,000 tonnes of wheat during May and June despite low stocks.

Last week, Ukraine lifted restrictions on wheat sales, and analysts estimate the volume of additional old crop exports will be up to 300,000 tonnes.

SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) — Australia’s wheat crop must receive substantial rain in the next few weeks to avoid yield losses as dry weather across the east coast of the world’s No. 2 exporter of the grain holds up planting, analysts said, fuelling global supply concerns.

Dry weather across Australia’s second largest wheat producing state of New South Wales and neighbouring Victoria has delayed wheat planting, traders said, with yield losses likely in the regions if rains do not fall soon.

The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences has forecast total production at 24.9 million tonnes for the 2013-14 marketing year, up 13 percent from the previous season.

Weed control, soil test part of forage plan Reap maximum production | Use quality seed and don’t let weeds take hold, says specialist

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

The success of long-term forage crops often depends on long-term planning.

“With perennial forages, it’s very important to plan ahead, whether that’s for seeding hay or pasture,” says Stephanie Kosinski, a forage specialist with Alberta Agriculture.

“With crops going into production for at least three years, you really want to ensure you plan carefully, looking at all factors before starting to seed.… Failing to do that could result in weeds or establishment issues that could really affect production, instead of reaping benefits for the life of the stand.”

Kosinski said producers should plan a year in advance, especially if they have to deal with perennial weeds such as Canada thistle and foxtail barley.

“You want to ensure a weed control plan is in place to deal with perennial weeds before a perennial forage is established,” she said.

It’s a significant time and cost investment to establish a forage stand, so you want it productive throughout its life. If it’s a mixed stand, your herbicide options may be dramatically reduced.

STEPHANIE KOSINSKI ALBERTA AGRICULTURE

“It’s a significant time and cost investment to establish a forage stand, so you want it productive throughout its life. If it’s a mixed stand, your herbicide options may be dramatically reduced.”

Kosinski advised creating a “fine, firm seed bed for good seed-to-soil contact” if the land is cultivated.

“Ensure there isn’t too much residue present” when directly seeding into annual stubble, she added.

A nurse or companion crop is sometimes used to achieve an eco-

nomic return in the first year, although she said it is not something she normally recommends.

“In drier areas, it’s probably better not to, because an annual crop will be really competitive with forage seedlings for nutrients and moisture.”

Producers who are determined to plant a companion crop should select a less competitive crop and harvest it early for silage or green seed.

“With any companion crop, there’s always a chance volunteers will go for grain the next year,” Kosinski said.

She said the planning is particularly important because forage stands are such a big investment.

“If producers always keep in the back of their mind what they need to be thinking about when seeding forages — paying attention to seed quality, site selection, seed bed preparation, soil fertility and how they’re going to seed — even without a written plan, they’ll be OK.” Kosinski said spring is the best time to seed forage, preferably from May 1 to June 15, to take advantage of early

spring moisture and optimal soil temperature of 10 and 20 C. She said producers should also: • Ask for a copy of seed testing equipment, which has great information about seeds, grades and germination.

• Ensure seeding depth is well controlled for good emergence establishment. “Often the main reason for perennial forage failure is planting small seedlings too deep.”

• Get a soil test so they know how much of each nutrient to apply.

Farmers can call 310-FARM with questions on seeding, pasture for grazing, timelines and what is suitable to grow in a particular area.

GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala (Reuters) — Guatemala will distribute more than 18,000 litres of fungicides at a discounted price and grow more robust coffee plants to help farmers combat a severe leaf rust outbreak that has crippled its crop.

Roughly 70 percent of Guatemala’s 680,000 acres of seeded coffee land has been hit by the fungus.

Guatemala’s coffee growers association Anacafe brokered a deal with two companies to buy the fungicide Opus 12.5 SC at up to a 40 percent discount to farmers.

The association also obtained seeds of varieties that are more resistant to the leaf rust fungus, which attacks coffee leaves.

NEW HOME WARRANTY

“IT’S WHAT WE DO” Quality Undercarriage & Repair Parts for use on equipment manufactured by: Cat, Case, Deere, Hitachi, Hyundai, Kobelco, Komatsu, Volvo, and other fine manufacturers.

Sealed & Greased Excavator Chains

Excavator links are lubricated using “Extreme Pressure Synthetic Grease” and fitted with the latest style Polyurethane Seal Groups to maximize lubricant retention and insure long life.

Sealed & Lubricated Dozer/Loader Chains

Forged Links

ITR Links are forged from Boron Steel, quenched, tempered, and induction hardened using the latest automated link hardening equipment to ensure excellent wear resistance under even the most severe working conditions.

Lubricated Dozer Chains are sealed with Polyurethane Seals and Metal rings to extend operating life and to eliminate the possibility of dry joints between “west turns”.

Pins & Bushings

Pins and bushings are critical to track chain wear life and are manufactured and dimensionally matched to ensure a perfect fit and sealing and joint integrity. Outside Surface Hardness is > Rockwell C58 to a depth of > 4mm with a core hardness of > Rockwell C34.

Chain Assembly

Lubricated Chains are assembled on fully automated chain assembly lines. Seal installation, Plug introduction and Oil fill quantities are 100% computer controlled and every joint is individually pressure tested to eliminate the possibility of leakage during working conditions.

Min / Max interference fit tolerances between the Pins, Bushings and Links are maintained automatically by min/max press force specifications. This process minimizes link breakage and pin/bushing drifting.

KAP urges government to modify check-off system Farm organizations | Province’s slow response frustrates farm leader

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Manitoba’s main farm organization is losing patience with the provincial government’s failure to fix a check-off system that it says is broken.

“I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt, for another week or two,” said Keystone Agricultural Producers president Doug Chorney.

“It has to be done by summer.

We’re not going to let another year go by.”

KAP is supported by a refundable checkoff but says there are problems with its collection, enforcement and refundability: • Grain elevator managers don’t always collect it.

• The provincial government does not force offenders to comply with the rules.

• Refunds can be demanded right up until the last day of KAP’s financial year.

After a speech to the Manitoba Farm Writers and Broadcasters Association, agriculture minister Ron Kostyshyn reiterated his support for the concept of a checkoff to fund “general farm organizations,”

a category in which he also places the National Farmers Union.

“I definitely believe in stabilization funding for producer group organizations because they are going to become more valuable,” said Kostyshyn. “It’s a matter of finding the appropriate formulation.”

His response left Chorney fuming, saying it revealed no progress on an issue that has simmered for years.

“We’ve been in a perennial cycle of government admitting there are flaws with our check-off system and government wanting to fix that because they see value in KAP, and then government not doing anything about it,” said Chorney.

“We’re not really sure why this happens. It’s been the experience with minister (Rosann) Wowchuk, minister (Stan) Struthers and now minister Kostyshyn.”

KAP’s ability to form a budget is undermined until after the end of its financial year because it never knows how many farmers will demand a refund. KAP has called for a mandatory, non-refundable checkoff so that it knows what size of budget it will have for the next year.

However, Chorney said his orga-

nization has accepted the provincial government’s demand that the NFU also be included as a check-off option and is willing to budge on the issue of non-refundability “if that’s what it’s going to take.”

He said KAP is unwilling to see the issue linger and might soon take the problem of non-enforcement to the provincial ombudsman for an investigation.

The province now has the power to enforce compliance on grain companies, require retroactive check-off payments that were not deducted and issue fines against grain companies and buyers that fail to comply.

However, the government isn’t taking those enforcement actions, and the most KAP has seen in recent years have been letters from provincial officials asking for compliance.

Kostyshyn said he supports the concept of a general farm checkoff and an improvement to the present regulations but promised no quick action. Many organizations help represent farmers and he thinks they will play a big role in future farm policy development.

Pedigreed seed inspections to be handed over to private industry

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada’s pedigreed seed industry is developing a new system for inspecting seed crops.

Beginning next year, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency will no longer be directly involved in conducting routine seed crop inspections.

Instead, individuals and companies that have been certified and trained by the CFIA will conduct inspections on a fee-for-service basis. The CFIA will continue to act as the regulatory authority for the seed industry.

“The CFIA will maintain its role as Canada’s national seed authority and will continue to be involved in activities in support of seed crop inspection and certification, including licensing and oversight of private sector delivery of seed crop inspection,” says a document posted on the CFIA website.

“It is expected that some current seasonal CFIA official seed crop inspectors will be interested in continuing to provide crop inspection services to seed growers after their employment term with the CFIA ends.”

The agency said it conducts seed crop inspections on 16,000 fields and one million acres of pedigreed seed crops a year.

It has previously employed 120

seasonal crop inspectors and 80 full-time inspectors to provide the services. Next year, private sector inspectors will take over.

The move to private sector inspections was prompted by budget cutting measures announced in the federal government’s 2012 budget.

It remains to be seen how much pedigreed seed growers will pay for inspection services under the new system.

CFIA inspections were not conducted on a cost-recovery basis, meaning costs were subsidized.

Under the new system, private sector inspectors must be licensed by the CFIA. Two types of licences will be available: • An authorized seed crop inspection service (ASCIS) is a business, organization or third-party entity that is licensed to conduct inspections in a specific region.

Each ASCIS must commit to providing a pre-determined number of inspections within its region each year. An ASCIS is not permitted to refuse a request for service unless it has exceeded its minimum required number of inspections.

• A licensed seed crop inspector (LSCI) is an individual that has been trained and certified by the CFIA to conduct in-field inspections. LSCIs must conduct inspections on behalf of a registered ASCIS.

MANURE | DIGESTERS

Digesters unlock manure’s potential Economical biogas production | Experience south of the border shows technology can work in harsh prairie winters

BY RON LYSENG

HOW THE BIODIGESTER WORKS

WINNIPEG BUREAU

There’s no doubt anaerobic digesters work, but making them economically viable in Canada’s extreme prairie winter is another matter.

Anaerobic digesters use heat to convert biomass, whether it’s for generating electricity or producing environmentally friendly materials.

There are two types of digesters: the more common mesophillic digestion system that functions at 35 C and thermophillic digestion that functions at 55 C. “The higher 55 C temperature in a thermophillic system gives you higher biogas production, creates more total energy and gives you a higher rate of biodegradation,” said University of Manitoba PhD candidate Elsie Jordaan, who recently presented her findings after touring a dairy-based mesophillic anaerobic digester in Wisconsin.

She said there are fewer of these in North America, even though they maximize the efficiency of the feedstock and the facility.

“Thermophillic digestion is a lot trickier than mesophillic,” she said.

“It’s more difficult to nurse the bacteria all the way up to 55 C than to 35 C. The higher you go with the temperature, the more chance of accidentally killing off the whole population. It takes a long time to get that bacteria community working for you.”

Wisconsin, where winter conditions are similar to those in Canada, has more dairy-fed anaerobic digesters than any other state, including those in much warmer climates.

Making sure enough biomass feedstock is on hand to dump into the digester the moment it’s needed is the key to keeping the bacteria warm, healthy and hungry in any system, especially in winter conditions.

Many Wisconsin dair y far ms ensure an adequate supply of feedstock by using co-digestates consisting of additional straw, waste corn silage and mouldy feed along with off-farm materials such as cheese whey, food waste grease and glycerol from biodiesel production.

Most farms buy back their dried digested solids to reuse as bedding.

“Yes, they are running the same material through the digester, but for good reasons,” Jordaan said.

“It’s cheaper than buying fresh straw for bedding and the recycled material is right there in the yard, so transportation costs are minimal.”

She said straw is an intractable organic substance and difficult to break down by anaerobic digestion.

There is enough good material to serve as bedding, even when it goes through the digester a couple of times.

Remaining digested solids that don’t go back to the point of origin are sold as bedding to neighbouring farmers or as soil amendments, with prices ranging from $10 to $35 per ton.

Dairy farms use some of the electricity that they generate and sell the rest into the local power grid. The 29 Wisconsin dairy digesters generate

121,000 megawatt hours of power, all the while cleaning dairy manure to acceptable standards.

The 29 Wisconsin dairy digesters are set up exclusively for dairy and other non-hog co-digestates.

Dairy-based digesters are typically mesophillic and thus cheaper to build, faster to start up and easier to manage over the long term.

The Dane County Community

Digester project was developed after the county banned winter manure spreading.

It was set up as a community project because none of the three farms involved had enough cows on their own to justify a stand-alone system.

The three together have a total of 3,000 head, all located within the maximum recommended distance of 600 metres from the digester, thus

making the system economically viable.

The Dane County Community Digester produces 19,000 kilowatt hours of power at a value of $2 million.

The facility is designed, owned and operated by Clear Horizons, a private energy company. Under a 15 year agreement with the three farms, Clear Horizon owns all the biogas and electricity and is responsible for all plant and business operations.

The three farms must provide enough manure feedstock, which they pump to the plant through eight inch diameter underground pipes. They also accept the liquid digestate, which can be sold or used on-farm.

The Dane County facility might be considered a simple, off-the-shelf low-temperature mesophillic digester, but it still took 18 months to tune in the physics, mechanics, electronics, chemistry and digestate factors

SWEETRIDGE DAIRY FARM | ENERGY

Dairy farm biodigester will be the first to operate in Manitoba Clean manure | System will use manure and spoiled feed to generate cleaner energy

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Manitoba’s first dair y-based mesophillic anaerobic digester is in the final stages of testing and is expected to be ready for operation this fall.

It is on the Sweetridge dairy farm south of Winkler.

It is a pioneering project that must withstand the cold Manitoba winter, which many people say will kill the sensitive bacteria critical to the biodigestion process.

so that the system functioned as Clear Horizon intended.

During that time, the cost to Clear Horizon was an additional $5 million. Although the initial projection was a 15 percent return on investment, the extra start-up cost affected the original number.

Jordaan said tuning a biodigester is no easy task.

“The exact feed recipe is determined through trial and error and is adjusted at the operators discretion to optimize biogas production,” she said. “When required, additional bio material is trucked to the plant.”

There are three collection components: • The underground lines run to the manure reception tank.

• An above ground tank stores additional waste products.

• A below-ground open pit holds additional manure and other feedstock products.

Jordaan said nearly everything is covered so there is little odour, unless standing next to the open pit and looking down.

There are three digester tanks, each holding 4,500 cubic metres of biomass. Stirring is constant with two top mixers and three mixers within the tank.

The tanks have elastic, inflatable type covers to capture the methane coming off the top of the soup. The walls are nearly eight metres high, so there are six to eight hours of methane storage within the flexible cover at the top of each tank.

After the methane is extracted from the flexible roof, it goes through a scrubber to remove hydrogen sulfide, which would prove to be fatally corrosive to the generators.

The methane is then ready to serve as the primary fuel for the two one megawatt GE Jenbacher generators.

Once the maximum amount of methane has been extracted from each digestion tank, the remaining soggy digestate goes into a Centrisys centrifuge to separate solids from liquids. Liquids are pumped back to the farm of origin and solids go to the drying drums to extract remaining liquid.

“The liquid concentrate is stored in lagoons for land application,” Jordaan said. “The phosphorus has been reduced by 60 to 70 percent.

Waste heat at any point in the system is utilized to heat the digesters and the other buildings.”

Sweetnam, milks 230 cows on a three-times-a-day schedule.

Miriam Sweetnam said they realized a number of years ago that environmental standards aimed at livestock producers were imminent “We knew we had to do something about manure on our farm. We knew what was coming. We looked at the (biodigester) idea and decided it made sense.”

Sweetnam said they realized a blend of feedstock was needed for an anaerobic digester to function efficiently. Dairy manure alone wouldn’t do the job.

“So it’s not just our manure. We’re

in an area with lots of potatoes, onions, other vegetable crops, dairy processors and many alternative food sources for the digester. And we do bunker silage, so we can feed spoiled silage into the biodigester.”

Getting the right blend of ingredients is important. A sudden change in diet for the bacteria could spell disaster.

There is nothing special or hi-tech about the basic bacteria. The bug colony comes from the day-to-day dairy manure put out by the cows, so the bacteria are right at home in the Sweetridge biodigester.

However, the sudden introduction

Let us

of another ingredient, even if it has higher potential to generate energy, can disrupt the happy symbiotic process taking place in the digester.

“The recipe going into the biodigester is vital. It’s a challenge to develop and manage that recipe,” she said.

“If you add too much of any one thing, you can knock it all off. The bacteria are so temperamental.

They’ve been likened to the stomach of a cow.”

Elsie Jordaan, a PhD candidate at the University of Manitoba, is cooking up the ingredient recipe for the Sweetridge Farms biodigester.

Sweetnam said the biodigester is not as deep into the ground as they would have liked, due to soil conditions.

“We have liquid heating pipes below the floor and in the concrete walls. We’ll heat the biodigester to 36 C with propane at first to get it going,” she said.

“Once everything is up and running, waste heat from the system will be pumped through the pipes to keep it at that temperature.”

The Sweetridge Farms biodigester is a joint project with the University of Manitoba, the federal and provincial governments and Manitoba Hydro.

WEED OF THE WEEK: WHITE COCKLE

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

It might look like other night flowering weeds, such as catchfly, but this invasive pest is expanding rapidly through reduced tillage fields in Western Canada.

The pest typically shows up as white flowers amongst a yellow canola crop, where it competes for water and fertilizer resources.

It is a tough weed to control for many producers once it reaches its shortlived perennial stage.

White cockle’s Latin name is sailene latifolia and is also known as white campion.

It produces large numbers of seeds, has a tough, deep taproot and once established is challenging to remove from the field.

It grows 25 to 75 centimetres tall at maturity and has oblong, hairy leaves with smooth edges. Flowers are fragrant, white, about two cm across and open at night.

The majority of the plant’s pollination is insect based and takes place during the late evening hours.

University of Saskatchewan research indicates that a two stage approach to the weed is the most effective when it comes to controlling this pest.

Dicamba (Banvel) mixed with 2,4D or MCPA is used in cereal crops when the weed is in the two to four leaf stage. Dicamba at a rate of .12

litres per acre and 2,4-D or MCPA in a 500 gram formulation are applied at .35 litres.

Saskatchewan Agriculture recommends a spring burnoff of glyphosate applied at standard rates, as well as the addition of a Group 2 product such as 2,4-D where appropriate.

Group 2 and 4 products are useful in controlling the pest in crop.

Roundup Ready crops also provide effective control when the glyphosate is applied as a post emergent product and the timing is right to control late emerging weeds.

A pre-seed burnoff will control seedlings by itself, but often not perennials.

Ken Sapsford of the U of S said an application of herbicide in a cereal crop after glyphosate or a mix of glyphosate and florasulam (Prepass), tribenuron and metsulfuron (Express Pro) or 2,4-D can be effective.

Group 2 combination products such as Precision Pac 23235, containing thifensulfuron, tribenuron and

Tribenuron and metsulfuron should not be applied if the burndown application contains those chemicals because it would exceed

annual rates of application.

In alfalfa and clover, white cockle is treated with 2,4-DB products such as Cobutox, Embutox or Caliber in the 625 grams per litre formulation.

White cockle causes seed purity issues in timothy, alfalfa and clover because seed growers find the seeds impossible to clean from the crop.

In established pasture, a mix of dicamba, 2,4-D and mecoprop-p (DyVel DSp) can be applied at a rate of 1.3 litres per acre.

There is a 30 day grazing restriction on these products.

Cultivation provides effective control, but it isn’t recommended for most rotations or where carbon credits have been claimed.

EQUIPMENT | PLANTERS

Singulation and spacing are not the same thing Planting corn | Don’t ignore tube errors, says seeding expert STORIES BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

PORTAGE la PRAIRIE, Man. — People new to the nuances often assume that singulation and uniform spacing go hand in hand.

“Not true,” corn planter guru Bill Lehmkuhl told a corn planter school sponsored by Pioneer Seeds earlier this spring.

“Singulation and uniform spacing are two totally different issues,” he said. “The word singulation refers only to the way the meter takes one seed at a time off the disc and drops it down the seed tube.”

Lehmkuhl said growers often have perfect singulation but terrible spacing.

People have to draw a clear distinction between the two definitions, he added.

“Spacing refers only to the distance between the plants in the row,” he said.

“Singulation will always affect spacing if the singulation is bad, but even when singulation is good, the plant spacing is affected by what happens once the seed falls out of the meter into the seed tube.”

Lehmkuhl said seed problems within the tube fall into the category he calls seed tube error. It can start just as the seed is ready to be released from the metering disc.

“A little bit of static electricity might

hold one seed just a fraction of a second too long. When the next seed comes along and they go down the tube together, obviously you’ll end up with a skip followed by a double.”

He said row unit bounce caused by tractor speed is a major factor contributing to poor spacing and is always one of the first things to examine when trouble shooting poor plant spacing.

“Even if singulation coming off the disc is perfect, a bouncing row unit causes the seed to ricochet and bounce around inside the seed tube,

eating up precious time.”

He said it’s a two-pronged problem: higher ground speed creates the problem in the first place and exacerbates it by making the gap longer.

As the seed wastes time in the tube, the tractor’s faster forward speed means the planter covers more distance before the seed is dropped.

Seeding one m.p.h. slower will likely eliminate seed ricochet or poor spacing within the row.

The exact geometry of the backward arch of the seed tube helps the

seed fall into the trench without bouncing on the tube walls.

“Theoretically, the seed should drop out the bottom of the tube with no acceleration forward or backward. Zero miles per hour.”

Lehmkuhl said the well tested de-

sign is “pretty well universal throughout the planter industry. Dickey John builds them for just about all planter manufacturers.”

CANOLA | SEEDING

Producers can salvage a crop with shallow seeding Drill setup | A late start and poor conditions leave growers with little room for error

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Late snow melt? Cold soil? Too much rain? Tough seeding into mud?

Short growing season?

It doesn’t mean this year’s canola crop necessarily has to be a crop failure.

Agronomists say there’s one opportunity to rescue the canola season, and if it isn’t done right the first time, there won’t be another chance until 2014.

That single opportunity is the seeding operation.

High yields are still possible this year if a producer has a mindset to pull out all the stops and put down the best seeding operation possible.

It will also help if a somewhat normal summer follows.

Shawn Senko, the precision seeding specialist for the Canola Council of Canada, said setting up seeding equipment is more important than ever in a year like this one.

Canola plants have more leeway and are more forgiving of seeding goofs in a perfect year. However, the delicate canola plants have little tolerance for those same goofs when winter lingers too long.

Senko, who grows canola on his home farm east of Saskatoon, said it’s too easy to let the weather and circumstances get the upper hand before seed even goes into the cart.

“We already know we’re looking at a short growing season because we’re seeding so late,” Senko said.

“And we know we’re seeding into wet, cool soils.”

Perfect seed placement is not possible in mud, but there is plenty of time to work on air drills and seeders while waiting for fields to be dry up.

Senko said shallow seeding is the only way to deal with what farmers are facing this year.

“If you place the seed deep, there’s more compaction, cooler soil temperatures and thicker crusting the plants have to break through. A lot of

Canola seeded deep in wet, cold soil must fight to emerge through an unforgiving soil’s crust. | seeds won’t germinate and many of those that do germinate won’t get through the crusting,” he said.

“In wet soil conditions, if you put the seed .5 inch to .75 inch, you know for sure there’s good moisture close to the seeds and higher soil temperatures than deeper into the soil.”

Senko said that depth is only slightly shallower than the one inch normally recommended.

There’s no guarantee what the weather will do, but shallow seed placement at least gives better odds of quicker and more uniform germination and emergence.

“With deep seeding, even if some of those seeds do germinate to form plants, the wide range of emergence dates through the field will present challenges all season long for timing pest management, swathing and combining.”

Seeding rigs sink further into wet soil than they do in dry soil.

A machine might be set for .5 inch but the seed is being dropped into the bottom of a trench that’s an inch or more deep.

This depth accuracy problem is especially prevalent in machines with gang packers.

Producers who have invested in the high-tech precision seeding machines generally agree their drills give them a distinct advantage in wet conditions than do older style drills.

Levelling the drill side-to-side and front-to-rear is especially critical in wet conditions. The main consideration is finding a firm, level surface.

The rest of the setup is in the opera-

tor’s manual.

Once the drill is set, Senko said producers should stop often and dig to the bottom of the seed trench with their seed depth tool to determine the actual placement depth of the seed. Check different rows each time.

“You want to check seed depth at a spot where the drill would have been moving at full speed. That way, the seed depth measurement accurately reflects what the drill is really doing.”

FLOODING IN SASKATCHEWAN

Volunteers flock to help embattled Sask. town Mayor praises efforts | Thousands of volunteers help Borden, Sask., with sandbagging, flood fighting

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BORDEN, Sask. — A massive outpouring of volunteerism has helped stave off flooding disaster in the village of Borden.

More than 1,000 people have come forward to lend a hand since the village declared a state of emergency April 29. Mayor Dave Buckingham said the community would have been overrun with water without their support.

“We’ve had a tremendous amount of volunteer support, that’s for sure,” he said.

“Without the help, we would have been in much, much more dire straits. We would have had severe flooding in housing whereas now, with the sandbagging, we’ve mitigated that. Even our lift station would have been flooded without all the sand bagging.”

People have come from across the province. Volunteer fire departments arrived from Langham, Dalmeny, Warman, Martensville, Osler and Hepburn. Several area schools pitched in filling sand bags by the thousands.

“I think we’re around 50,000 sand bags, maybe higher now,” said Buckingham.

Helping fill those bags May 2 were 35 students, their teachers and even the bus driver from Perdue School.

Bus driver John Daum arrived at school that morning not knowing he would spend his day in Borden on the sandbag crew. Daum, who is a farmer, said he recognized that the same crisis could happen to him. He’s not surprised at the amount of goodwill extended to Borden.

“Saskatchewan is one big community. We stick together.

When the job has to get done, Saskatchewan will get her done without complaint,” he said.

Meghan Nicholls, 12, is also from a farm. She said volunteering has shown her and her classmates how much work is involved in an emergency.

“It could have been my community. Volunteering means a lot because I get to help out other people in their community and if it was ours it would be quite hard to see that happening,” she said.

Teacher Josh Hindmarsh said the students impressed him.

“Some are a little tired because they’re not used to hard labour, but overall the students have responded well. I think being part of something big like this, they understand what’s happening and what it would look like in their community if there was flooding.”

He was impressed at the leadership skills shown by the school’s farm kids.

“The city kids are doing good, but you can tell the students who are from the farm who do this work regularly,” he said.

“They know how to use a shovel and they understand machinery, where to put things, how to stack things,” he said.

Brenda Roenspies was in her newly renovated kitchen baking a birthday cake for her husband, Rod, April 29. At 1:30 p.m., she looked out the window to see water rapidly moving toward the house.

A group of volunteers soon arrived to help the elderly couple move the contents of their basement to the first floor. Their quick work saved two deep freezers full of food and a new washer and dryer. By 4:30, the water had risen past the water bladders surrounding their home and was flooding the basement. They had to row their boat back to their truck parked on the road.

“I was just grateful for the help we got. I was really amazed at how fast they got everything up. You’re kind of in a state of shock because you don’t know what to take or how long you have to be away,” Roenspies said.

“This emergency brought out the best in people. This has always been a really great community. We’ve always felt welcome and the people have been great.”

Horse trainer a role model for women Breaking stereotypes | Inspirational female trainer travels across the U.S. to horse clinics and exhibitions

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

RED DEER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Horse trainer Wylene Davis bounced into the round pen with a bright pink shirt, leopard spotted chaps and a 100 watt smile.

She then grabbed her horse and got to work turning it from â&#x20AC;&#x153;wild to mild.â&#x20AC;?

Davis is one of a handful of full-time female horse trainers, willing to take on the hard cases.

The young filly that Davis drew in the three-day Trainerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Challenge competition at the Mane Event in Red Deer was determined to buck Davis off its back during Day 2 of the competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we were kids, we rode everything with hair on it. My mom taught us how to ride and guide them and because I was never handed a finished horse, I had to learn to ride whatever was underneath me,â&#x20AC;? said Davis, who lives in Arizona. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever is thrown underneath me, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready for it,â&#x20AC;? said Davis, who competed in the Trainers Challenge against Heath Marshall and Sean Patrick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This horse was a perfect example.

I pushed her through that. Today she was a powder puff.â&#x20AC;?

On Day 3 of the competition, Davis had her horse walking over tarps, bridges, standing still for a waving flag, galloping around the round pen and stopping quickly with Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hand signal on the neck.

While the competition may look a bit like speed dating, Davis said the mini training session was exactly what her training sessions are like. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first day is walk, trot, canter, stop, back up, turn on the hocks, grab them around the neck, get off them, stand up on them in a first ride. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I expect to do,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just looked right into my closet.

There are no secrets and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a speed thing. A horse can take the training. I could see she was accepting of everything so I pushed and when she accepted, I kept pushing. I knew she was ready. I had prepared her.â&#x20AC;?

Davis has competed in eight Mustang Makeover challenges, which give trainers 100 days to tame a wild mustang. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s her second visit to Canada. She was forced to drop out

It allows me to have that platform and stand up and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I know I am a girl, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just as tough as a man.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; WYLENE DAVIS HORSE TRAINER

I appreciate how to do it in two or three days with my method and show how quick it works, how efficient my horses come round and be good,â&#x20AC;? said Davis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a fun loving daredevil with a big smile. I love a challenge and it gives women a voice. It allows me to have that platform and stand up and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I know I am a girl, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just as tough as a man.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;?

Being a role model for women has been important for Davis, who travels across the United States as a professional horse trainer and clinician. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to break the stereotype. I get that a lot because I am female. I got more guts than most and I am tougher than most men. I am here to show that, for sure,â&#x20AC;? said Davis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ever ywhere I go women say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thank you for confidence, for your power. You inspire me, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve changed my life, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made me realize I can do this.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Or they also say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I just love seeing you smile out there like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having a good time.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;?

Davis talks throughout her training sessions, pointing out her foot position and what sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s asking the horse to do.

She plans to train horses and teach riders for many years because of the benefits that horses bring to people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Horses cure people. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s therapy. I have had more men and women come to me and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wylene, If I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have my horse Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d probably be dead.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I love my job because horses change people. They make me better.

To me, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re therapy.â&#x20AC;?

BRANDING SURVEY | OCCURRENCE

Audit shows fewer producers brand, improving hide quality, welfare ANIMAL HEALTH

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

randing remains a necessary form of identification for beef cattle in certain situations in North America.

It’s one of the only permanent forms of identification on the open range and in community pastures and is a crucial way to identify lost or stolen cattle. As well, financial institutions may require branding as proof of ownership of cattle.

All cattle that leave their farm of origin must also be identified with a Canadian Cattle Identification Agency ear tag, and many cattle may have a management tag with an identification number that can be read by farm staff.

The results of the latest Canadian National Beef Quality Audit included information on the occurrence of branding at Canadian slaughter plants. The plants were surveyed in late 2010 and early 2011 to assess quality defects in carcasses.

The project was funded by the beef cattle industry science cluster under the Growing Canada Agri-Innovations Program and beef producer national check-off funds.

This is the third audit to be completed and follows up on the initial audit undertaken in 1995 and a second audit in 1999. All of the audits have focused on issues that can be managed by producers, such as injection site lesions, bruising, horns, liver abscesses and condemnation of heads and tongues.

Branding has significantly decreased in occurrence since the 1999 audit, when 25 percent of fed cattle had brands. In the 2010-2011 audit, only 9.8 percent of fed cattle were identified with brands.

The majority of the brands were located on the hip, at 60 percent, with the rib area next at 37 percent and the shoulder area at three percent. Only 0.1 percent of cattle were identified with multiple brands, which again is a drastic drop from 1999, when more than eight percent of fed cattle had multiple brands.

Why do we worry about branding as a quality defect?

The primary reason is that hides are a valuable commodity to the packing industry. The annual economic losses caused by branding were estimated at $2.8 million, which translates into 88 cents per head for all cattle going through slaughter plants. However, this is a drastic improvement from 1999, when the annual economic losses to the beef industry caused by branding were estimated at $15.8 million.

Branding is also an important animal welfare issue. We know that any method of branding causes shortterm pain and stress to the animal.

Unfortunately, we do not have practical techniques that would allow us to provide local anesthesia to animals that are being branded. How-

ever, pain control medications are licensed for cattle that may help alleviate some of the pain after the procedure.

Freeze branding has been shown to be slightly less painful than hot iron branding, but it is a more technically difficult procedure and is useful only on dark-hided cattle. Staff should be trained on how to administer either hot iron or freeze brands.

Whenever possible, try to minimize branding and use alternative forms of identification. When branding is necessary, use a single iron and a small brand to reduce the pain.

Don’t use hot iron brands on wet cattle because scalding may occur.

Talk to your veterinarian about the potential of using pain control medications during branding.

The National Beef Quality Audit is a good news story because it shows a reduction in quality defects.

More information is available on the Beef Cattle Research Council website at www.beefresearch.ca.

ANGUS BREEDERS | PRODUCTION

Angus breeders learn, promote, reap rewards Learning from others | Couple credit friends and professionals in the industry for mentorship

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

BARRHEAD, Alta. — Barrhead may not be the centre of the Canadian cattle industry, but Brad Yoder and Nicolle Hoskins have worked hard to promote the Red Angus herd they built from scratch in northwestern Alberta.

Cinder Angus consists of 65 cows that have turned heads at the World Angus Forum in Calgary, Northlands Farmfair in Edmonton, Canadian Western Agribition in Regina and the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colorado.

It’s a family operation that includes daughters Tavianne and Brynne. Life revolves around the cattle business.

Yoder came from a mixed farm in the area and has been involved with purebreds for about 25 years.

Hoskins’ background was horses.

Fittingly, they met at the weigh scales at Farmfair, where they were helping other people get ready for the show.

They bought their current place about 10 years ago and converted a hayfield into a ranch.

Yoder started showing in 1997 as a way to promote his program.

“It is a learning process,” he said.

“I didn’t go to 4-H at all. I was more of a ball player when I was growing up. It is a pretty steep curve, and you have to learn very fast.”

Dedication and determination were behind their efforts, added Hoskins, who had friends in the Simmental business who showed her the ropes so she could transfer her knowledge of horses to cattle.

They also watched other Alberta Angus professionals, such as Bryan MacKenzie, Lee and Dawn Wilson and Gavin and Rob Hamilton, to see how they took their cattle to the pinnacle of success.

“It is a mentorship,” she said.

“Whether they realize they are men-

The couple has worked with a group of other local breeders for the last 13 years, selling bulls at a sale they call On Target.

They sold 20 yearling bulls this year, mostly to customers in a 120 kilometre radius of Barrhead, but cattle have also gone to northern British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and the United States.

They are always looking for new bulls to build their program, but the main focus is developing sound cattle for their commercial customers.

“We still want to try and raise really strong, correct, functional cattle, more so for the commercial men as the purebred men, because that is where most of our business is going to be,” Yoder said.

Buying print advertising and taking large strings of animals to exhibitions

lets potential buyers scan their entire program. A major accolade occurred earlier this year when a bull they sold to a consortium at Agribition in 2010 became a sire of champions.

Yoder and Hoskins sold the American semen interest from Red Lonestone Pursuit 81W to Silver Spur Ranch, a large operation with ranches in several states.

Last January, Silver Spur won the grand champion pen of bulls and grand champion pen of heifers at the Denver stock show. All the champions were sired by Pursuit.

Cinder Angus has also had champions from Pursuit and has kept several sisters at home.

While they enjoy the accolades from both the large fairs and the local summer shows, Yoder and Hoskins also appreciate the family aspect of these events. They sell heifers to young 4-H members, and their

daughters have started showing at junior events where they are expected to do their own work.

“My kids are going to have a sense of ownership over their success, not because Mom and Dad paid for it to happen,” Hoskins said.

She minds the ranch during the day while Yoder works off the farm full time at a local IGA store as produce manager. He juggles his vacation time around shows and the seasonality of ranch chores.

Breeding plans are a joint decision.

They use home raised bulls and seek out new genetics each year.

“I don’t do as much AIing (artificial insemination) because I like to use my own bulls. I have enough confidence in our own program to use it,” Yoder said.

Their pedigrees now contain two to four generations of their own cattle, so they have built enough history to

prove their cattle’s performance.

They do some artificial insemination and place embryo transplants into commercial cows.

Using natural breeding and AI strengthens the gene pool while adding uniformity to the herd because their sires are predictable.

“We are not trying to breed ourselves into a corner,” he said.

“The Red Angus business genetic pool is so limited so you almost have to try and create your own. There is so much stuff that isn’t available like there is in black Angus.”

The cows calve in January and February, and although they ranch in northern Alberta, they find that early calving works better because spring weather can be unpredictable with cold temperatures, mud and wet snow. The calves are stronger when the cold March winds blow and are more uniform by the time show season starts.

BOSTON BOMBING | COPING WITH ANGER

Trying to find peace at the finish line in wake of tragedy COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

I

’ve been across the marathon finish line three times in three cities: Chicago, New York and Fargo. I ran 26.2 miles as fast as my training allowed and as swiftly as my legs, heart and mind would carry me. I remember each finish and the time it took to get there. They are indelible memories, and happy ones too.

I finished Chicago in three hours 31 minutes on a warm October day. I finished New York City in three hours

15 minutes on a cooler day in November in a city that was rocked just months earlier by the tragedy of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.

Eleven years later, older and slower but determined, I finished in Fargo on a cool day in May and tripped the clock at three hours 40 minutes.

The support from people, many complete strangers, was incredibly energizing at each race, and kept me going through each of the 26 and two-tenth miles.

I had a friend or a family member at each race, but nothing was better than finishing the Fargo Marathon when I was met at the finish line by my wife, our eight-year-old and fiveyear-old sons and our three-year-old little girl. The kids didn’t think anything of the fact that I had just run more than 26 miles. They still expected me to hoist them up and give them

a hug, and I was more than happy to oblige, no matter how shaky my arms or how rubbery my legs were.

The finish line is a place of reunion and celebration. It is a place where tears are often shed, but shed in joy of the arduous task just completed.

Communities are there in full force to join in the strangely heartwarming experience that comes from the thousands of individual expressions of physical and mental exhaustion on the faces of people accomplishing an uncommon feat.

They cross the line, stop the clock, raise their hands to the heavens and declare it done, goal reached, perseverance paid off.

Now an evil that we wish did not exist, in an instant of detonation, turned celebration into disaster and chaos, took the joy of humanity and life and twisted it into sadness,

mourning and disbelief. Count me among those in sadness, mourning and disbelief. And add to that incredibly angry.

The emotions of anger and grief rotated back and forth when I read that one of the three killed by the bombs at the Boston Marathon was an eight-year-old boy named Martin Richard, a young man who went with his family to watch and to see the victorious finish for racers.

He was eight years old, the same age as my oldest son, who did the exact same thing one year ago. Martin came to see the finish of a marathon with his brother, his little sister, his mother and father, nearly the same ages and the same makeup as our family. But Martin Richard did not get to go home, his life cut tragically short.

His mother and his little sister were

seriously injured, among the more than 170 injured in the blasts at 2:49 in the afternoon on Patriots Day, the third Monday of April, at the 117th running of the Boston Marathon. We ask ourselves why anyone would do such a thing, but I don’t know if an honest answer exists.

There is a picture of Martin Richards that has become an iconic emblem of the day’s tragedy. In it, the wide-eyed boy, who is said to have liked knock knock jokes, who won at math games and who stuck up for friends at school, held up a hand lettered sign that read, “No more hurting people. Peace.”

True that. And a child shall lead them. No more hurting people.

Peace.

SHEEP | UNIVERSITY COURSE

TRAINING COURSE | LIVESTOCK

Interest in sheep may spur new course

Emergency personnel learn to handle livestock

Hands-on experience | University students learned about reproduction, breeding, and diseases

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BY BARB GLEN

Sheep could be on a future course curriculum for students at the University of Saskatchewan, thanks to a popular pilot program launched this past term.

Interest in sheep is on the rise at the university, said Fiona Buchanan, a professor in the agriculture college’s animal and poultry science department.

The idea was met with skepticism at first, said Buchanan, who grew up on a sheep farm in New Zealand and was a natural manager for the university’s sheep flock, despite her being a beef cattle geneticist by training.

“I suggested to my colleagues that I was going to offer to put on a sheep class. One of my colleagues said, ‘don’t even think about it because you’ll get three or four students.’ I think that would have been true 10 years ago.”

Sheep have been on campus since 1911, but Buchanan said students are more interested in the cattle because of their background.

“The vast majority of students like beef cattle. They come from beef ranches. I normally don’t have a good showing on lectures that are on sheep,” she said.

“The cows are more visible, but I always thought sheep would get attention if people drove past them everyday. So to test the waters and gauge interest, we offered a sheep and goat management course.”

Hands-on experience was one of the main focuses for the class, which was initially limited to 20 students. However, the class filled up quickly and the enrolment cap was raised to 30 students, and then raised again.

“We still had two people in who begged and whined and really had to have it,” she said.

“So we had 32 students and I think that has blown my department out

of the water. And I have to say it has blown me out of the water, too, because we even have students with cowboy hats sitting in the classroom, and that never would have been the case.”

Buchanan said there are several reasons for swelling interest from the agriculture college’s mostly female students.

“We have a lot of urban students that don’t come from a farm background. I think sheep are less intimidating (than cattle), sheep are pretty easy to manage and you don’t have to be a big person.”

Instruction in both the barns and classrooms covers topics as varied as reproduction, breeding, lambing, diseases, hoof trimming and shearing.

“You get to do mostly the same things (as cattle), other than shearing, which is obviously sheep specific,” she said.

“I think a lot of times people think

sheep are little cows and I think this course proves that is not the case.

You can’t feed a sheep as though it was a cow because you’ll kill them.

There are certain differences in mineral requirements.”

The university has maintained a Suffolk flock for 30 years but added Rideau Arcott two years ago.

Cross breeding the Rideau Arcott rams and Suffolk ewes produce high vigour lambs.

“The lambs are popping up in no time and looking for the udder to get their first drink,” she said.

“The nice thing about how fast the crossbred lambs grow is we’re there when they are born in February, we’re there at weaning time and then we get to see the shearing. The students get exposure to almost a whole year’s worth within a term.”

She said the increased interest on campus could also have a positive impact on sheep numbers in the province.

“I think the nice thing about this class is people who didn’t know anything about sheep now think they know something about sheep and they would consider them an option if they got some land.”

The number of registered ewes in the province is rising: from 60,000 in 2010 to 68,000 in 2012.

“When you look at how much lamb is consumed in Canada, Canadian sheep producers supply 41 percent of that. So 59 percent is coming in from other countries.

That is a good thing because it means the Canadian producers have room to grow in that market.”

Buchanan is waiting to learn the outcome of student evaluations, but she is optimistic the course will be offered again in January 2015.

“Everything I hear indirectly is that we’ll be getting good evaluations. So based on good enrolment, good evaluations, we can make it a real class.”

CATTLE | FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE

Producers discuss disease protocols, communication

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Dairy farmer Chuck Ahlem wants to know as soon as possible what he should do if there is an outbreak of foot-andmouth disease.

Ahlem has 4,000 milking Jerseys in California, and his family also owns Hilmar Cheese, one of the largest producers of natural cheese in the United States. He works with 240 other family farms to export to 40 countries.

“One outbreak of any disease could turn the entire operation upside down overnight,” he said at a foot-and-mouth disease forum at the National Institute for Animal Agriculture meeting in Louisville April 15-18.

Ahlem understands quarantines and “stop movement” orders, but he

still wants to know what would happen to his cows and the 9.5 million litres his company processes each day at plants in California and Texas.

Halting business and the effects on animal welfare were among concerns discussed at the forum.

The announcement of a positive case would leave most producers in shock. Many would not know what it looked like, much less what they were supposed to do.

Individual farms with positive cases would receive ample information on euthanasia, disposal and quarantine from state veterinarians, but those outside the infected zone might be on their own.

“The cases I worry about would be producers in an area that doesn’t necessarily have the resources from the state to tell them what is going on and what to do,” said Patrick Webb, who handles emergency

planning for the National Pork Board in the U.S. The pork board has created an online fact sheet for producers, and there is an ongoing program to build traceability information.

Other countries halt all movement in an area designated as a disease zone, but Webb argued that livestock haulers should be allowed to carry animals to their final destination on the day a case is announced.

The risk to animal welfare is critical if trucks had to pull over with a load of pigs.

He said 600,000 to one million pigs are on the road each day in the U.S. Animals travel from northern Canada to southern Mexico.

The disease would have been circulating for a week by the time it was announced, so little would be gained by stopping movement immediately.

“It is a welfare disaster waiting to happen if they are stopped too long,” he said.

Consumers also need assurances that their pets and food are safe, said Stacey Stevens, head of communications for the National Dairy Council.

Commodity organizations have programs to talk with consumers through direct contact or social media, which could reach millions of people quickly, she said.

Producers and veterinarians also need to be briefed on how to provide information, she added.

They may be the face of the crisis and would be considered trusted sources to talk to the media and public.

People are information seekers, so every commodity group needs to have clear, ongoing information on their websites.

Alberta has eight emergency livestock trailers in its fleet and now a course to train responders in their best use has been initiated at Lakeland College in Vermilion, Alta.

The Livestock Handling in Emergencies and Equipment Trailer Training Course will likely begin this summer at Lakeland’s emergency training centre, depending on instructor availability.

Kerri Sinclair, business development co-ordinator at the emergency training centre, said that 12 to 24 students are required for the course to run.

Course fees will be in the $300 to $375 range.

Lorna Baird, executive director of Alberta Farm Animal Care, said the course will be open to anyone who might be involved in the rescue or handling of livestock involved in a transport accident, building collapse or other calamity.

The course will initially be offered at Lakeland in Vermilion and to groups that want to hire a visiting instructor, said training services manager Dennis Cunninghame.

Baird said instructors could be trained throughout the province that could offer the course to others at a local level.

The two-day course is expected to run on weekends to accommodate volunteer departments. It will feature class sessions and hands-on training, which will culminate in an evaluation and exam.

It will cover various aspects of response theory, such as scene safety, extrication procedures and traffic control.

Training related to the livestock emergency trailers will include a description of equipment and media and public relations while on the scene.

Livestock theory makes up a third part of the course. Animal senses and reflexes will be discussed, as well as regulations, liability and euthanasia decision-making and procedure.

In an April 17 news release, Cunninghame said the course casts a broad net.

“Ultimately we want to accommodate anyone who might benefit from this training as part of their role to aid in the response to animals in distress,” he said.

Baird said she’s hopeful that municipal decision makers will also take the course, because another four livestock emergency trailers would better equip the province to respond to livestock emergencies.

The trailers cost an estimated $22,000 each.

Support was provided through Growing Forward 2 and livestock groups represented through AFAC. The livestock emergency trailers are located in Claresholm, Medicine Hat, Westlock, Vermilion, Red Deer, Hanna and Ponoka, with an eighth roaming unit deployed by AFAC.

NOW THAT’S A BIG BABY

RESISTANT KOCHIA | PREVALENCE

Data on glyphosate resistant kochia surprises experts Survey is based on farmer perception versus confirmed cases from laboratory tests, says Ag Canada official

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A survey of Canadian farmers suggests there are 651,000 acres of cropland with glyphosate resistant kochia on the Prairies, which is exponentially higher than official estimates of 8,000 acres.

In an online poll of more than 2,000 Canadian growers, Stratus AgriMarketing determined there are 502,000 acres of glyphosate resistant kochia in Saskatchewan, 126,000 acres in Alberta-British Columbia and 23,000 acres in Manitoba.

However, the acreage data represents farmer perceptions about glyphosate resistant kochia rather than fields with confirmed resistance, said Kent Fraser, vice president of Stratus.

“It is a big number and it’s very different from the number that the scientists would put on the table,” he said.

Stratus has conducted several surveys of U.S. growers about glyphosate resistance, but the latest survey, which was released to the media in early May, is the company’s first poll of Canadian growers on the topic.

In 2011 and 2012, Agriculture Canada weed experts found glyphosate resistant kochia in fields in southern Alberta and fields around Swift Current, Sask.

Laboratory testing confirmed the presence of glyphosate resistance at those sites.

In contrast, the Stratus data is based on farmer perception of glyphosate resistance, Fraser said.

“The fact that there’s a big difference (in acreage) doesn’t really surprise me, because we’re talking about two different things.”

Hugh Beckie, a herbicide resistance expert with Agriculture Canada in Saskatoon, said the acreage figure is surprising but it’s hard to assess its accuracy.

“We haven’t surveyed too much of Western Canada for glyphosate resistant kochia yet,” he said.

“Usually, with regards to glyphosate (resistant) kochia, I think farmers now know what to look for. I would guess those numbers are certainly a possibility. But it’s hard to verify based on perception.”

Kochia with resistance to glyphosate has been confirmed in about 50 fields in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Beckie said. Assuming each field represents a quarter section, it equates to 8,000 acres.

However, Beckie also observed resistance in surrounding fields when he visited sites to collect weed seed samples.

“Fifty fields is certainly an underestimation,” he said. “But still there’s a big gap between that (acreage) number and the number in the survey.”

The online farmer survey, which was conducted in February and March, suggested that 270,000 acres

of Ontario cropland have glyphosate resistant weeds.

Peter Sikkema, a University of Guelph plant science professor and weed management specialist, didn’t want to comment on the acreage estimates in the survey, but did say official data in Ontario is incorrect.

“We do the surveys in Ontario, in terms of the number of sites with glyphosate resistant giant ragweed, Canada fleabane and common ragweed. I will tell you immediately that our surveys underestimate the problem.”

He said 82 Ontario fields have confirmed giant ragweed resistance to glyphosate, 155 fields have Canada fleabane resistance and one has common ragweed resistantance.

“I know as soon as I (say) those numbers … that those numbers are incorrect. We know for sure it’s in those fields,” he said. “We also know for sure that there are other fields (with glyphosate resistance).”

The Stratus survey reported that one million acres of farmland in Canada have glyphosate resistance, which includes fields with resistance to volunteer canola.

“S o m e ( f a r m e r s ) m e nt i o n e d glyphosate resistant canola. Well, that’s stuff that we made,” Fraser said in explaining why volunteer canola was in the survey data.

Fraser said the positive news is that 42 percent of producers reported they are ver y concerned about glyphosate resistant weeds.

It’s unfortunate that Canadian growers have or are worried about glyphosate resistance, but farmers will only take action if they perceive it is a problem, Fraser said.

Sikkema agreed that Canadian growers are paying attention to glyphosate resistance.

“I think it’s a good thing that we’re increasing the awareness.”

FINDINGS FROM FARMERS Stratus Agri-Marketing surveyed 2,028 Canadian growers about glyphosate resistance earlier this year. Based on farmer perceptions, the survey found: • 1.019 million acres of farmland in Canada have glyphosate resistant weeds.

• In weed categories, there are 651,000 acres of kochia with glyphosate resistance, 184,000 acres of resistant Canada fleabane, 92,000 acres with resistant giant ragweed and 143,000 acres of volunteer canola.

• At 620,000 acres, Saskatchewan growers reported the most glyphosate resistance of any province.

• 6.7 percent of growers said they had glyphosate resistant weeds.

• 41.9 percent of growers responded that they are very concerned about glyphosate resistant weeds.

AGRICULTURE CANADA | FARMERS’ INFORMATION

Ag Canada has privacy issues Information breaches | Majority of cases were in 2008 when a computer was stolen

BY BARRY WILSON & KAREN BRIERE OTTAWA, REGINA BUREAUS

Privacy breaches exposed private information about 92,422 farmers and Agriculture Canada clients during the past five years, according to information presented to Parliament last week.

It made the agriculture department the third worst offender on privacy issues in the federal government during the past decade.

By far, the overwhelming problem was in 2008-09 when 92,000 privacy breaches happened.

That year, a computer stolen from the Canadian Canola Growers Association, which administered the advanced payments program, contained the names and information of 32,000 farmers who applied.

Later the same year, two Agriculture Canada servers were hacked and details about another 60,000 producers using federal programs were stolen.

The department said May 6 that the information included producer personal information, including names, addresses, telephone numbers, birth dates and personal identification numbers used for accessing the advance payment program, production insurance and AgriStability.

The department said that affected producers were informed, the federal privacy commissioner alerted and computer systems changed.

“System and user passwords were changed,” said an Agriculture Canada email. “All servers were manually

reviewed and no evidence of this attack on other servers was found.”

In the House of Commons, New Democrat MPs last week demanded an accounting from agriculture minister Gerry Ritz about how the privacy breaches happened and what he has done to safeguard producer information.

“This loss of Canadians’ personal information happened on his watch,” said NDP deputy agriculture critic Ruth Ellen Brosseau. “I want to know what his plan is.”

Ritz started to rise to answer but was replaced by Treasury Board president Tony Clement, who is designated to answer questions on the hundreds of thousands of privacy beaches that have been reported.

“Our government takes the protection of Canadians’ privacy very seriously, particularly when it comes to the proper handling of confidential personal information,” Clement said.

“I am going to meet with the privacy commissioner in the near future.

Perhaps we can also take other measures in the future.”

NDP agriculture critic Malcolm Allen noted that Ritz was not re-

sponding.

“What is he going to do to fix this serious problem within his department?” said Allen.

“When is he going to stand and give Canadians and farmers who had their information breached some straight answers?”

In an interview from Regina May 3, Ritz said Agriculture Canada has changed the rules to make personal information more secure, although theft of a computer from the canola growers association is not something the department can control.

“At the end of the day, as a government we put a lot of different features in place to make sure that we do treat the privacy of Canadians paramount, that we do keep track of their systems and what they’ve put into the government, recognizing that there will always be problems,” he said.

“We’ve learned a lot. We’re always l o o k i n g a n d o p e ra t i n g o n t h e assumption we can do more.”

Ritz said the vast majority of privacy breaches were from the stolen computer, but information tabled in Parliament showed that was just onethird of the privacy breach incidents.

Ritz said all farmers affected had been notified.

Ja m e s Va l c k e f r o m t h e N D P research bureau, which analyzed the numbers, said that despite the measures the government takes to put better systems in place, “tens of thousands of people, most of them farmers, had their personal information accessed because of dealings with the agriculture department, and that is a serious issue.”

RICHARDSON INTERNATIONAL | VITERRA ASSETS

Richardson sees potential in oats New horizons | Deal gives Richardson new geography and processing opportunities

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The president of Richardson International Ltd. says the oat milling business is the most intriguing of its new collection of Viterra assets. “(It) is one that we’ve been interested in and attracted to for quite a number of years,” said Curt Vossen.

On May 1, Canada’s largest privately owned grain company officially acquired more than $800 million of Viterra’s assets.

Included in the purchase are the assets of Can-Oat Milling, one of the world’s largest independent oat milling firms.

The deal includes oat processing plants in Portage la Prairie, Man., Martensville, Sask., Barrhead, Alta., and South Sioux City, Nebraska, and a wheat mill in Dawn, Texas.

Vossen is excited about the company expanding its value-added activity beyond the canola processing business.

“Most of the oats in North America are grown on the western Prairies.

That’s why we like this fit with oats.”

Vossen believes there is a “sweet spot” for oats in the expanding market for healthful foods and is excited about the crop’s future despite steadily declining oat acres.

“We’ve got to give oats the kind of attention and the kind of value that makes farmers want to continue to grow it, and I think we can do that,.”

Randy Strychar, president of Ag Commodity Research, laughed at the notion that Richardson can get farmers growing oats again.

North American oat acres have been in a freefall for decades and there is no end in sight, largely because of retreating demand from the equine industry.

“I don’t think (Richardson) is going to make any difference in the oat industry unless they can come up with alternative markets for the oats,” he said.

Growers have no problem selling good quality oats, but the market for No. 3 CW and No. 4 CW is limited, and Richardson can’t do anything about that.

Strychar said the company made a shrewd decision in picking up Viterra’s profitable oat milling assets.

“It was a great move taking the mills, and I think they’ll do an excellent job running those mills,” he said.

Richardson also acquired 19 country elevators and 13 attached crop input centres in the deal. Those assets will add more than 3.5 million tonnes of grain and oilseed origination and $100 million of crop input sales to the organization.

WHERE DO ALL THE ELEVATORS GO?

The Dow and S&P 500 posted record highs, propelled by stronger than expected U.S. job growth and continued stimulus from the Federal Reserve. Several corporations posted unexpectedly strong quarterly reports. For the week, the TSX rose 1.8 percent, the Dow rose 1.8 percent, the S&P gained two percent and the Nasdaq rose three percent.

The former Viterra CanOat milling plant at Portage la Prairie, Man., and several other mills now owned by Richardson will make it a force in the oat industry in Canada and the United States. | FILE PHOTO be repainted obviously in two months. That will take a much longer period of time,” said Vossen.

The 19 former Viterra grain elevators give the company a presence in parts of the Prairies where it wasn’t formerly represented, such as westcentral Saskatchewan, east-central Alberta and the Peace River region of northern Alberta and British Columbia.

Vossen said the company is now bigger and better equipped to meet the needs of domestic and international customers.

Richardson has acquired a Viterra terminal in Thunder Bay but is still hashing out details with Glencore about its partial ownership of terminals in Vancouver and Prince Rupert.

The company is getting a 25 percent share of the Cascadia Terminal in Vancouver. Glencore will own the remaining 75 percent.

“We’ve got to finalize discussions with Glencore on issues relating to how we operate the terminal together,” said Vossen.

Richardson is also increasing its stake in Prince Rupert Grain, a terminal jointly owned by Glencore, Richardson and Cargill. The company owns 24 percent of that facility and wants to increase its share to be consistent with its one-third share of Western Canada’s grain handling industry.

“We’ve just got to work out the details,” said Vossen.

The Can-Oat assets in Nebraska and Texas are Richardson’s first foray into the United States.

“We like the U.S. marketplace.

We’re not shy about saying it,” said Vossen. “We think this is a good beachhead, but it’s certainly one that we would look to expand over the course of the next period of time.”

The company figures it has expanded almost as much as it can in the Canadian grain handling business.

“It would be fair to say that you’ve got to look elsewhere in those areas to expand your business.”

That doesn’t mean Richardson is done investing in Canada. The company is spending $150 million improving its rail receiving capacity and building 80,000 tonnes of annex storage at its wholly owned grain terminal in Vancouver, $30 million expanding the capacity at its crush plant in Yorkton, Sask., and another $150 to $200 million doubling its Lethbridge canola plant.

“We’re not finished in Canada by a long shot,” said Vossen.

Richardson has extended job offers to all of the 500 to 550 Viterra employees associated with the new assets, and 99 percent of them have accepted those offers.

Vossen said the company plans to spend millions of dollars adding storage, improving rail capacity and optimizing processing speed at the elevators.

Richardson believes in an integrated approach to the grain business and intends to immediately address the absence of crop input centres at six of its newly acquired Viterra assets.

“Right off the bat, we’ve already made plans in the very near future, and I’m talking weeks and months, not months and years, to make some significant investment in some of these locations that don’t have crop inputs right now,” said Vossen.

The company has already started the process of rebranding its newly acquired assets with the Richardson name.

“Within two months they will all be rebranded Richardson. They won’t

MACDON SALE? | POSSIBLE BUYERS

CNH | FINANCIAL RESULTS

Equipment maker on the auction block

Healthy sales boosts CNH

Rumoured value $1 billion | The Winnipeg company makes windrowers and headers

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Rumors are rife that windrower king MacDon is up for sale and being shopped around.

Reuters News Agency reported that multiple unnamed sources said Goldman Sachs had been hired to find a buyer for the tightly held family company, which is controlled by the MacDonald family of Winnipeg.

Local farm machinery manufacturing sources confirmed that companies are being contacted to see if they would be interested in buying MacDon. Possible matches for MacDon could include Agco, Versatile, the Winnipeg-based tractor manufacturer whose Russian owners have been clear about wanting to increase their line of products, and John Deere, with whom MacDon already has a relationship and manufactures John Deere-branded products.

Goldman Sachs has the job of finding a buyer for family owned MacDon. | Other options include international farm equipment manufacturing companies that might want to develop a North American presence, and a growing pool of investment money that is available to the world’s burgeoning agriculture industry.

As well, private equity funds that are looking for non-publicly traded agricultural investments could find MacDon a perfect vehicle to use to get into the booming agricultural equipment market.

MacDon was formed in 1949 as Killbery Industries, manufacturing

an array of farm machinery products.

It developed one of the first self-propelled windrowers in 1951, a type of product that made it world famous amongst farmers.

The MacDonald family bought the company in 1971. As a private company, its financial results are not publicly known, but it is believed to be profitable. Reuters reported that Goldman Sachs was attempting to create an auction for the company, hoping get more than $1 billion for it.

The company is well-loved by prairie farmers and often hosts groups of

MACDON PHOTO

farmers for tours.

The company also prides itself on a commitment to worker safety and has held promotional events for occupational health and safety initiatives at its main plant.

The company manufactures selfpropelled and pull-type windrowers and headers, painting most of them in its well-recognized shade of red and black.

CNH posted net income of $326 million in the first quarter, up 21 percent from the same period last year.

Results were driven by continued solid market conditions in the agricultural sector, satisfactory industrial performance and improved results by the group’s financial services business, the company said.

First quarter diluted earnings per common share (before restructuring and exceptional items) were $1.33 per share, up from $1.11 per share in 2012 and beating analysts’ expectation of 95 cents.

Equipment sales rose one percent to $4.697 billion. Agricultural equipment sales rose nine percent to $3.9 billion and construction equipment sales declined 26 percent to $754 million.

For the full year, the company expects agricultural equipment unit volume sales to be flat to down five percent and its equipment unit sales to fall by five to 10 percent.

Overall revenue for the year is expected to rise by five percent.

MAPLE LEAF FOODS | FINANCIAL RESULTS

Dip in meat sales hurts Maple Leaf (Reuters) — Shares of Maple Leaf Foods Inc. fell eight percent May 2 after it reported a surprising quarterly loss on lower meat sales.

The food processor had expected a volatile first half, but conditions have been more difficult than it expected, said chief executive officer Michael McCain.

Meat volumes were weaker after the company raised prices. Also, profits from raising and processing hogs were hurt by higher feed costs tied to last year’s U.S. drought. The yen has lost value, and pork exporters have not yet raised prices to key Japanese buyers.

Those two factors hurt earnings from the protein segment by $24 million, the company said.

“Everybody knew that you lose money on every pig you sell,” said analyst Robert Gibson of Octagon Capital.

“People like myself were surprised by the magnitude of the hit.”

The price of corn, which strongly influences wheat, shot to a record high last year after the worst U.S. drought in more than 50 years. While the drought in the Midwest is mostly over, U.S. corn planting is off to one of the slowest starts on record, keeping grain prices volatile.

Canada Bread Company Ltd., of which Maple Leaf owns 90 percent, operates a large new bakery in Hamilton, Ont., where margins are strongly influenced by wheat prices.

Maple Leaf is also one of Canada’s largest producers of hogs, which are fed corn, barley and wheat.

“It’s just important for us to persevere through a period like this and

Maple Leaf saw a net loss of 11 cents per share in the first quarter. | FILE PHOTO stay committed to our longer-term strategies, which are demonstrably working,” McCain said.

He expects grain prices to soften in the second half.

“We see this as transitory.”

McCain said Maple Leaf was not planning additional significant price increases this year for its meat and bread products, which include Dempster’s Bread and Klik luncheon meat.

Price increases during the past year have had the predictable effect of lighter volumes, but they are now returning to normal, he said.

Sales for the company’s protein group fell six percent to $744.4 million in the first quarter.

Total sales decreased four percent to $1.11 billion.

Like other Canadian meat processors, Maple Leaf has seen sales to Russia drop off with that country’s refusal to accept pork with ractopa-

mine, a widely used feed additive.

The only Maple Leaf plant that previously shipped to Russia, at Lethbridge, is currently unable to export there, but McCain said he expects approval from Canadian and Russian regulators soon.

The company’s quarterly net loss widened to $14.7 million, or 11 cents per share, in the first quarter from $5.8 million, or four cents per share, a year earlier.

On an adjusted basis, the company reported a loss of six cents per share, compared with adjusted earnings of six cents per share a year earlier.

Analysts had on average expected Maple Leaf to earn 12 cents a share on sales of $1.148 billion, according to Thomson Reuters.

The company is carrying out a multi-year program of closing older processing plants and modernizing others as it seeks to boost profit and better compete with U.S. rivals.
